everything seems to be off for me whilst awaiting my biopsy result

Hello,

I recently had my one stop tests (Mammogram, ultrasound followed by an ultrasound guided biopsy). the Doctor who conducted the tests confirmed with me that my lump in the right breast is cancerous.

I was told to get my result and a consultation with the specialists probably about a week later. However, due to Christmas break, things have been delayed. I will probably have to wait for another week or so to get to talk to the specialists. 

As you can imagine, my anxiety level has been rocket high ever since the day of the tests. I have been having bone aches, poor sleeps, spotting and rectal bleeding. This morning, I woke up, noticing a vein on my neck is swollen.

Everything seems to go wrong for me in the past few days. I am not sure if all caused by my anxiety (probably inflammation) or cancer. I have no idea how quickly my cancer is spreading. With the festive season, it is hard to find any medical support atm. 

I am not sure if things will move faster if I seek private medical facilities. Sorry for being so hopeless. I really really wish to be stronger than I am right now, being more positive. but my personality and the circumstances I am in are pulling me to the opposite direction.

thanks,

Mo

    Hi Mo 

    Hope your doing ok. 

    I had the same procedures as you with cancer pretty much confirmed at that appointment.  Got a call 8 days later to say biospy results were back and my appointment was 4 days after that . I have a lumpectomy booked for 5th Jan.

    I absolutely understand your anxiety level , the waiting seems to be the worst part and my anxiety went through the roof ( and still is) .

    Best advice I can give you is stay off Google,  it takes you to places you don't necessarily need to go . Be kind to yourself and try to keep busy if you can .

    Please feel free to message if you ever need to chat  xx

    Hi Butterflywing,

    I am sorry for taking so long to reply to your kind message. I am feeling calmer now, all symptoms are disappearing gradually. I have accepted the reality and am ready to fight the monster in me off! I had my appointment with my surgeon today who had reassured me that my case is very early and treatable, despite of high grade cancer cells. I was told that because of my age (in young age group), the cells tend to be more aggressive. But nothing to worry about. I am hoping to get my receptor results this week. But my surgeon had already booked me in for the surgery on Jan 8th which is nice. I hope it will take place, but really depends on the type of my c cells. I will probably reach out every now and then if you don’t mind, I wish you had had a fantastic Christmas and Happy 2026 when all of us will thrive! Thank youxxx
