Waiting results - breast biopsy

Wells
Offline

This is very new to me , l wanted to say thank you to everyone who is posting there journeys on here. I started my journey on Monday, l went to the breast clinic after being referred by doctor. The morning was long and had two mammograms one 2D then one 3D, followed by a ultrasound. The news is that they are concerned and have taken a biopsy, also implanted magnetic bit of metal in the lump, they said just in case of surgery , l am in a bit of shock to be fair. I suffer with cysts for a long time and just thought it was that. My family and work colleagues are being incredibly supportive and to be fair l am doing okay, a few tears come and go. Jill the amazing lady who went through everything said that the lump is very small, they have scanned under by armpit to my lymph nodes and there isn’t anything there, l am feeling positive and on Monday l will find out, if it is Cancer Jill says it is very early and will be treated. The waiting is hard !!

    Hello Wells, I often think that the waiting is almost as bad as the results themselves!  At least when you have the results, you know that a treatment plan will be put in to action........the waiting makes you feel like you are in limbo doesn't it?  Please let us know what happens on Monday, I wish you all the luck in the world, xx

    My results have come and l have invasive ductal carcinoma 

    grade 1 or 2 oestrogen receptor high , herceptin receptive low

    This week, l have had MRI scan with dye , 6 more biopsy’s and another mammogram. The consultant was very helpful and explained that want to do more tests which l have had then take it from there. It is contained, not in my lymph nodes. Either Radiotherapy / lumpectomy or Radiotherapy/ mastectomy , followed by hormonal tablets 
    I am being really well looked after, every one at the Hospital is lovely & kind. 
    I am relieved l know, just need to wait till 3 to get all the results back .
