Ah I'm sorry you're anxious...I'm a few weeks behind you in terms of finding out what's up. 

I had my core biopsies taken 2 days ago after my lump was found to not be a cyst. I've also been told it's most likely to be a fibroadenoma but it doesn't settle the nerves much does it !? 

I was also told that the doctor would call if everything was OK and have me in for an apt if there was anything more to follow up on so I understand how you must be feeling. On a positive note though, they may just want to explain a few things about the fibroadenoma, or give you the option to have it removed ?? Did they put a clip / marker in when they took the biopsy ? Perhaps they plan on marking it. 

The next week will hopefully go nice and quickly for us both with plenty of distractions over christmas and we'll eventually be able to settle our nerves. 

Please keep me posted as to how you get on !

Merry Christmas xx

Hi!

I totally understand the stress of waiting for results! It's the worst time!

I wouldn't read anything into the fact you've been called back in - I think it's fairly standard procedure for results - good or bad - to be given face to face. Hopefully it's just a fibroadenoma (in my case they knew as soon as they saw it on the ultrasound that it was cancer) but even if it's something worse, at least it's being dealt with and I'm sure will be treatable! When I was diagnosed I thought the worst but had a lumpectomy last month, am on Tamoxifen already and have Radiotherapy next month. I'm feeling good! 

Anyway, this is a long way of saying please don't overthink (definitely don't Google!) and enjoy Christmas knowing there's nothing else you can do right now, you are in good hands and will get through this!! :)

Hi Chellept,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

I am so sorry to hear about your anxiety and sorry to hear that you cannot put your mind to rest before Christmas. Most consultants prefer to give the results face-to-face. If s/he suspects fibroadenoma, then hopefully this will be the case.

We always tend to overthink things at this stage and, I must confess that I gave my poor hubby a very hard time when I was waiting for a diagnosis too. Since then, I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the past 12 years and I still live a busy and fulfilled life.

Please let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Try to have a Very Happy Christmas, despite having this hanging over your head.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hey,

Thank you so much for your reply to my post, I appreciate it so much...

No deffo does not settle the nerves - although I am feeling slightly better today that I now have a date for the appt and I can forget about the phone ringing or waiting for the post every day!!

No I don't think they put a clip / marker in - they didn't mention that so I guess not?

Yes I am concentrating on trying to enjoy Christmas now and drinking lots of alcohol!!

Have a wonderful Christmas lovely xx

Hey - thank you so much for replying to my post - it is so appreciated...

Thank you also for your kind words - you've made me feel so much better....

yes indeed positive head on now and deffo no Google!!!!

Glad to hear that your treatment is going well and have an amazing Christmas xx

Hey, Thank you for taking the time to reply to my post, means the world!

Feeling a little less anxious today - this forum has deffo helped to get things into perspective..

I am the queen of overthinking at the best of times so this is a massive challenge for me but it's Christmas tomorrow and I have alcohol to consume!!

Glad to hear that you are recovered and enjoy life to the max - Have an amazing Christmas xx

The waiting is always the worse bit but try not to worry as my husband keeps reminding me what will be will and worrying won't change the result and until you get the result enjoy trashy hallmark Christmas movies, alcohol and chocolate!

I was in your position at the beginning of December. I had 4 core biopsies taken but I wasn't given any indication of what they could be so I drove myself mad with overthinking. A week after they called to say results were in and set an appt for the following week. 1 of my lumps is a fibroadenoma however the other 3 (2 in breast and 1 in my armpit) are cancerous but I'm oddly ok with that. 

They can usually tell by the ultrasound (and it was really obvious with mine that they were cancerous) and the biopsies are just their way of double checking 

Try not to drive hubby insane and good luck for new year's Eve

Indeed the waiting, fear of the unknown and uncertainty are the worst!

Thank you for replying to my post - truly means the world....  I will certainly be watching lots of movies, eating loads and drinking even more alcohol!!  I am a personal trainer so the break will be very welcome to be honest!

Glad you are ok with your results and that the treatment plan is sorted for you...

Thank you again and have an amazing Christmas xx

Hey 

I've just come across your post. 
 

I am awaiting to go to the breast clinic on the 10th January. I have a swollen underarm and a lump in breast. 
 

I hope your appointment goes well at end of the month.
