Hi
I have just finished the process after a CT scan showed up an area of concern back in August. It is definitely a waiting game initially and a scary time as you always think the worst case scenario! I would say try not to think too far ahead at this stage. The doctors do see a lot of lumps and areas of concern so they know what to look for. Mine said while I had my biopsy during an ultrasound'I have to say it looks very worrying'! Once someone says these things your mind goes into over drive. 
Everyone is different and has different treatments. Once you have a proper diagnoses then you will get a treatment plan and feel a little easier as you have something to work towards. That said mine changed a couple of times and did have to wait for results on several occasions. I had a mastectomy and reconstruction and am now 10 weeks post surgery. Doing well, they got it all so no radiotherapy or chemo needed and taking Letrozole for 10 years to help reduce risk of it returning. There is a journey to go through and no one can tell you what that will entail at this stage but it won't be long. Hang in there, talk to positive people and allow yourself time. It's ok to feel all the emotions you are going through but remember you are not alone.

good luck and let us know how it goes it's not cancer and if it is there is so much that can be done now and so many people with experiences to help you get through whatever is thrown at you.

take care xx

Thank you so much for reassuring me . I couldn't feel any lump before the mammogram, but I do have large breast. Since the cone biopsy I can feel it .and now can't  stop touching it . Been to Doctors to day for medication to help me sleep . So hopefully I will feel a bit more settled tomorrow.  I will keep you up dated. So glad that things have gone well with you . Xx

Dear Moseley,

Sorry too meet you hear,  I am so sorry that you have had  bad news that they think it's cancer, let's hope it's not but this is the worst you will feel the unknown and what's ahead is frighting, I know I have been there, you mind just goes to every worst sinario possible. 
 

When you go on Wednesday they have a lot of information for you, from the biopsy they will be able to tell you what type of breast cancer you have and what steps they will take to treat it. 
 

I will say try not to worry but I know you will. Take someone with you at your next appointment, it's a lot too take in you will be given lots of information.

Your Breast care nurse is a great help, I asked her after my meeting to go through things again with me.

You will be okay I promise, you've got this! It's now being sorted which is the most positive thing.

Love Sarah 

Thank you for your kind words. I am dreading the news on Wednesday, but can't wait as well strange feeling x

Hi Albert56

I am sorry sorry to hear your news and no wonder you are in shock! I'm glad the Letrozole is helping! It's so difficult getting your head around everything and I don't think we do really! We just get caught up in the journey and go from one treatment to the next. 
you look after yourself.
