Just found out it breast cancer

Hi,

been googling and reaching for hours since going to the hospital (today) and having a mammogram & ultrasound. Doctor said be prepared for the biopsy results coming out positive that I have breast cancer, she was confident it is - unfortunately.  Trying to still hold out that it might not be, positive and then devastated - and then denial over again.
 

Hospital are hoping that I can see them for the pathology report next Wednesday or it'll be a week on Wednesday which seems like a lifetime away.  Cannot believe it's happening to me and I trying to be strong in between episodes of crying!

Berks.

  • Hi

    Sorry to read your news hoping you can be seen next Wednesday. 

    In March I went through the same was told at the biopsy they were almost certain it was but had to wait 10 days for results.

     Friends said it may not be etc but for me I decided to go with that it was positive I found it easy to cope. 

    Keep a pad and pen out and anything that comes into your head make a note so you don't forget then on the day put them into questions. 

    Keep us updated, but here if you have any questions or just want to  vent.

  • Thank you Louise.

    This group is so helping me - I cannot articulate how much.

    Yesterday was hard, I have two sons and two step-daughters all grown and none that live with us. One of them knew about the appointments so was ahead of the game, I felt that it was unfair not to get the others up to speed. Partly because my eldest who knows might need a sibling support system. Anyway I couldn't face having 4 conversations and or a family conference so my husband was amazing and spoke to the kids. 

    Only just caught up with them now via text and getting myself out in the beautiful sunshine this afternoon. I'm trying not to feel sorry for myself but when I think of loved ones the tears just come.

    Tomorrow I will put pen to paper and start jotting down the questions and hope that next Wednesday is the day.

    Much wishes Ren xx
