Waiting for scan results - just been diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer

This is all new to me…I’ve had my second mammogram biopsy and titanium clips fitted today. I have been diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer (22mm) but they are also checking another area that shows up on one of the earlier mammograms. I had a CT and MRI scan last week - the waiting for those results is really getting to me now…I’m just over thinking things and worrying myself it has spread. I have come to terms with the cancer diagnosis but very anxious at the moment waiting. I am trying to keep busy and carry on as normal- but it’s hard!

  • I am in the same position. Have had a biopsy which confirned Grade 2 invasive lobular cancer and spread to lymph nodes. Am awaiting results of MRI and CT scans. The waiting is unbearable. My mind is spinning and in overdrive. I am not sure what the difference is with what the CT scan tells and the MRI. I hope your results are back soon and you can move to the next stage
