New diagnosis of breast cancer. Now waiting for biopsy results

I’ve just been told that I have breast cancer. Bit of a shock to say the least. No history in the family and I wouldn’t say that I met any of the risk factors. It’s taken a few days to process the news and I’m now in that limbo stage whilst I await the results of the biopsy. 
It’s helpful to hear about other people’s journey and I know that with the support of others, I can fight what lies ahead.

  • Just wanted to jump in and say hello and your not alone - my partner was diagnosed in February and has had a full mastectomy and lymph node removal surgery yesterday. She’s 45 and although family history it was still a massive shock. She like you found the positive in learning about treatments and information about breast cancer. For us the waiting for results was the most challenging and most anxious time. My partner started journaling daily just to get her thoughts out was and is her therapy. The care of the hospital and nurses/ drs honestly has been out of this world. You will be in the best hands. We now are preparing for chemo and then can hopefully look forward again to the future. 
    Good luck and here if you want any more info about our experience so far X

  • Thank you. It’s really helpful and reassuring to hear from others. Friday is when I go back for the results and it sounds weird but I cannot wait. The not knowing is awful. 
    I wish your partner all the very best x

  • You are right, the waiting is awful. That’s why I am awake at 1am in the morning! Have breast cancer for the second time in nearly 5 years. Had biopsies, PET CT and MRI scan. Seeing consultant on 13th (my birthday) to get full results and plan. The waiting around is so stressful. Hope all goes well on Friday for you x
