Waiting in biopsy been told highly suspicious

Hi everyone,

I am going out of my mind with worry. I found a lump and mass in my breaat last month. I was referred to the breast clinic and had a one stop appointment last Monday. I have an ultrasound first where they found another lump and "worrying areas". I then had a mammogram and 3 biopsies. I had the titanium clips put in then another mammogram. 

I have been toldthr imagines are highly suspicious of a breast cancer. They are reviewing my biopsy results on Wednesday. I am petrified. I have 3 small children and I just  cant stop crying.

Not sure what advise I'm looking for, I just needed to write it down I guess

  • Hey, I get my results on Wednesday and I feel exactly the same as you. I'm 28 with a 6 year old. It's tough and you feel like the walls are closing in. Do you get your results on Wednesday ? Sending you a virtual hug 

  • Hi Lauren, they said they review the results on Wednesday and dicuss a plan (if needed). They said I should get the appointment to go back on Wednesday afternoon. It's horrible. I keep crying but I don't want to be upset in front of my children. How did they leave it with you? They told me it's highly suspicious.. ive been googling, know I shouldn't but can't help it and it doesn't sound good. I really hope it's good news for you xx

  • Hey, so I'm going back Wednesday afternoon they said the same thing to me about they have this meeting thing on a Wednesday morning. They didn't say much about the lump itself. I've googled everything,  I don't think there is something about breast cancer someone can tell me that I don't already know like at this stage I'm good to become a qualified doctor on the topic. But on a serious note your mind is your enemy. No matter what the result is, it's treatable. Another bit of advice I will give you, surround yourself with only positive people.

  •  Lol.. I know, I feel like I've read absolutely everything, it's completely consumed me. I pray that if it is the dreaded word that it is treatable. You're right, I am lucky to have positive people by my side . I hope you do too. The waiting and the unknown is pure torture. Sending hugs x

  • So are they going to call you on the day with the appointment or sometime tomorrow ?? 

  • Yeah thats what the nurse said. I called today to see if they had come back.. she said they had but will be review on Wednesday and if no-one has called me to call back Wednesday afternoon to make an appointment and told me to bring someone with me so I assume it's not going to be good.

  • Perhaps they are giving you an indicator so your prepared mentally and by that I don't mean for the worst. Whatever it is, you found it. They can sort it, and they will sort it and that's what matters. 

  • I get that impression. Well I am expecting bad news so anything else would just be a huge relief. I hope your appointment goes well x

  • Fingers crossed for both of us - whatever the weather we will get through this !! **** cancer

    Hi Louxioux,

    I agree totally with what Kiera has said. Waiting for results is a terribly stressful time and tears are never far away. I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the past 12 years, plus a few scares. On three occasions my consultant was pretty sure that I had cancer. After biopsy, this turned out to be only 2. I still manage to live a busy and fulfilling life, despite all this. It is perfectly normal to get clips inserted. This helps to locate the problem area for further investigations, or during surgery. Breast cancer is one of the most treatable forms of cancer these days.

    We always advise people not to google until they know what they are dealing with. There are many different types of breast cancer and it is impossible to differentiate between them until the result of your biopsy comes back. In the meanwhile, you’ll only scare yourself further and serve no useful purpose.

    I do hope that all turns out well for you on Wednesday. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

  • Hi Lauren,

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

  • Hi Jolamine, thank you forbyour reply. I cant imagine how scary it must be having to through this a number of times. So glad to hear you have been living a nearly normal life, this is so important to me as my children are still so little. 

    I am going to try and stay off Google today, I know its not helping or going to change the situation.

    They will be reviewing my results tomorrow.. my anxiety is through the roof, I am petrified. I just hope that if it does turn out to be the dreaded word then there will be treatments for it.  

    I am glad I have found this little community. It really helps to speak to people who know exactly how you're feeling. 

  • Good morning all. 

    I am new to this site, I joined this morning. It's a fantastic group. 

    I have had problems with my left axillia and lumpbon my left breast off and on now since 2015. I finally had a ultrasound scan last Wednesday, followed then by a mammogram and 2 biopsies. I too was told it's looking serious and is looking very much like cancer. 

    I have been beside my self with worry and suffer from anxiety badly. I am not sleeping very well. I have a 10yr old son. He has been extremely supportive. 

    I have to go back to the clinic tomorrow go get my biopsie results. I am beside myself with worry. 

    Did anyone else get told on day on biopsies that it a looking serious? 

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Many thanks
