Im waiting on breast biopsy results, i get them on monday, the waiting is just dreadful, sometimes your gut feeling tells you what you know but this time i just dont know! Anyone feel or felt the same?
Just a quick update from me, I had my first session of chemotherapy on Tuesday. It wasn't anywhere as bad as I ahead expected and whilst I am definitely not feeling my usual self, so far so good. I feel so much better to be actively fighting this now and better for getting through all those horrific waiting stages since 12/10.
For those with new diagnosis, you can get through this. Take one day, one step at a time.
What a brave woman you are, so glad your treatment isnt as bad as you thought it was going to be, chin up hunni you will beat this, think we will all be happy when this year is over.
I was putting clothes away in my son and girlfriends drawer today after hoovering and their golden retriever Bella who is just 7 months old who is petrified of the hoover got excited when i took the hoover down stairs jumped up and banged my boob omg the pain!!! I actually thought the wound was going to bleed, so its sore but its been sore for about 3 days now, sometines it gets quite swelled and really tender, i thought the pains meant to be getting better by now, i wouldnt like to have double Ds i dont think got to laugh or youd cry, oh the joys of dogs eh! And i couldn't give her a row bless!
I had Core Biopsies, even sat in the waiting room for them to be delayed, they said it was a backlog and I waited almost another week, but I then had to have a Stereotactic biopsy, again that was delayed because they wanted more testing done on the samples, I waited 3 more days it was awful both times.
I am fortunate that I don't have bc the tests confirmed a sclerosing lesion and benign adenoma.
I hope this in some way helps you, I've since heard this happens quite often, it is terribly traumatic to have to wait after you've prepared yourself.
I wish you the very best, please do let me know what the outcome is.
Ha definitely lifting no scooters! Just about managing hugs on my good side! Oh I definitely will lovely. Out of all the waiting I've done over these last couple of months, this one seems the hardest. Trying to think positive xx
Thank you Karen and Mickey for your well wishes today, they were very much welcomed.
I too was 50 this year Karen, my dog was 11 when she passed away last wk and live in Scotland too. So your post really resonated with me, thank you.
Debated about updating as my results were clear and feel quite guilty given that so many have not been so lucky and there are others still at the waiting stage.
A " blob" had shown on original mammogram on left breast so a more detailed one, examination and then ultrasound today.
Was told that I have " fatty breasts". The blob, as they called it, turned out to be a tiny piece of really dense tissue, but other than that there is pretty much no breast tissue at all.
I will never forget these past few weeks, nor this forum which really saved my sanity and as previously mentioned really did make me feel much calmer.
You are all so unbelievably strong and from the bottom of my heart I wish each and every one of you all the best on your journeys,the light at the end of the tunnel will be yourselves.
