Waiting breast biopsy results but consultant confident it will be positive. I'm so scared of what comes next and need someone to talk to who understands

Hi all , 

Am absolutely terrified . Thought I found a lump 6 months ago that seemed to come , go then came back and stayed . Went to GP 3 weeks ago who didn't think it was sinister but referred me to breast unit . Had appointment on Monday and consultant after seeing mammogram and scan is confident it is sinister .. Now just waiting for biopsy results .. Lump is somewhere between 1.3 & 1.5 mm according to the images.  Am just so scared of what comes next and desperately need someone to talk to who understands x

  • Hi Jolamine 

    How are you doing  today ? 

    I hope your husband is a bit more comfortable today .

    I'm still not sleeping great , seem to wake up about 1am and fall back to sleep between 3 & 4. Am sure it will settle down eventually.

    Hope you have a peaceful day and stay safe in the storm if you get it xx

  • Hi B! 

    Am over the worst now and a bit sore but they are very good at managing pain!

    Hope to get some sleep tonight but have a deaf lady opposite and her visitor shouts! Still, it's all part of the experience...and it is what it is! Am just so grateful to have got through my mastectomy!

    Thanks for all your prayers and good wishes 

    Love

  • Hi B

    I didn't sleep at all last night and rather than listening to my beating heart I got up and did some housework to distract myself. Was exhausted this morning but went down first to theatre about 10.30 and have been in catch up sleep ever since! I feel so blessed with all the love and kindnesses expressed. And yes we have a valued friendship, so will definitely keep in touch!

    Love and blessings to you too for your recovery and a good treatment outcome!

  • Sleep well V

    Speak tomorrow xxx

  • Good evening all.. I’m in the same position as you were 1 month ago. Awaiting biopsy results and MDT meeting is tomorrow but the consultant is confident that cancer is present in the breast and possible lymph . I won’t hear until Monday next week with regard to an appt for consultation of results and planned treatment. I am beside myself with worry and cannot think straight. Before the biopsies were taken my consultants words were “it’s not good news” and “ it doesn’t look good”.. nothing positive since so just a waiting game . Thank you all for reading and I wish you all the very best in your journey ..

  • Hi Gill 

    Am so sorry you are having to.go through this , non of us want to find ourselves here but I can promise you will always find support here .

    Having been through what you experiencing now I can say that the waiting for results is by far the worst time , my brain went into overdrive and I just went through the motions of every day life with this awful thing lurking constantly at the back of my mind.

    My biggest piece of advice is don't Google! I'm a huge Googler and it gave me worries that weren't even relevant to me so I had extra worry for no reason ..Google has been proven to be out of date so try not to look. 

    What I can tell you is once you have your results things move quickly and before you know it treatment will have begun.. 

    You have such alot to process right now so be kind.to yourself . Keeping busy did help me but then I also had times that I wanted to he alone & have a good cry.!. 

    Please please please stay intouch , I'm here anytime you need a friend.. 

    Remember , you've got this ! ️
