Waiting Biopsy results

Hi everyone

Very new to this site.. it's currently 4:42am and im laid in bed with my mind racing. 

I had a sharp burning pain a few week ago coming from my upper outer breast area which made me have a feel around.. i found a lump straight away from the same area. I went to my GP as soon as i got back from my Holiday and got reffered for 2 week wait. I went to my appointment yesterday and i had ultrasound test to which then turned into a mammagram and biopsy.. she did two areas where the lump is and just abover under my armpit.

I then saw the consultant who was not positive at all and told me to start thinking of the worse.

Im 33 years old with a 2 year old and not handling it very good at all. Please can someone talk to me.. give me positive stories or breast cancer.

Or did this similar situation ever happen to anyone before and the results turned out benign? Im thinking of my daughter more than anything, she needs her mummy.

Thank you for taking your time to reply.x

  • Waiting on results from a week ago,go in today to find out.

    Have breast lump.Had mammogram, ultrasound and biopsies. 

    Consultant said its "presenting "as cancerous. So those words have been dancing round my mind for a week.

    The waiting has to be the worst part.

    I just want to know either way so I can get on with it.

    I have a 9yr old daughter. She needs me.

    Will read on to see how you get on.

    Thinking of you xx

  • Thank you. I will think of you too. My head feels proper mashed at minute. Its awful all of this i feel sickly with it all today. Our daughters do need us.. she is all i can think about. Sending you love xx

  • Hi my results are back and it's breast cancer.

    I've to have an MRI as they have saw a spot on my liver.

    Lump to be taken out and lymph nodes then radiotherapy then depending on results of lump may get chemo.

    To be honest it's a relief to know one way or other.Now I can focus on the road ahead.

    That waiting to hear is just the bloody worst.

  • I'm not going to tell my wee girl till I need to .She's 9.

    That's another hurdle to cross .

    Hope you get answers soon too.

  • I’m so sorry to read this, I have been thinking of you and wondering how you got on. I here many say the waiting and not knowing is the worst part, so it’s good you are feeling a sense of relief and determination. Sending you a virtual hug xxx 

  • Thank you.

    Yeah even in the consultation room me and my dad sat for about half hour waiting on doctor/nurse coming to tell me,that was like a pressure cooker, confined in a room waiting!

    But basically she came out with it in the first sentence so there's definitely no beating about the bush(so to speak lol)

    So who ever is waiting you certainly will know within the first sentence they say to you  what the outcome of results are.

    I also didn't expect to be examined again,so bare that in mind.

    *** myself about the "spot-on my liver though.

    That'll be the next wait!

    Xxxx

  • How did they find the liver spot? Perhaps it’s just something totally unrelated. I can imagine how scared you are about that though! This flipping journey is one thing after another, my biopsied boob is all rashy today so now and thanks to google I’m convinced I have inflammatory breast cancer. 

    It’s good that they don’t beat round the bush as you have had enough of waiting and guessing! It’s awful, you kind of feel like you’re living in a weird little world xxx 

  • Oh I had a C T scan 2 days after my mammogram/ultrasound/biopsies  of the breast lump.

    They found it on that.

    The MRI will be more detailed. 

    Yeah they say don't look at Google,but when you're left to your own devices at 3.30 in the morning with a phone in your hand then ,yes!we look.

    We know we shouldn't but we do.

    xxxx

  • Yes!

    it's like your stuck in a world with this alien bump inside you.

    Your looking out at everyone else for help,but you just look normal to them.

    They don't know about the sneaky little secret that's hiding in your body.

    Weird.

  • That’s a great way to describe it! Outwardly people think you’re fine but inside we most definitely are not! 

    So true, when I’m left on my own I go to dr google! A very hard thing not to do especially when you just want answers, 

    You sound like you’re being so well looked after and amazing they’ve saved time by doing a ct scan whilst you waited for the biopsy results. 

    Lots of love to you, keep chatting whenever you need too xxx

    oh and we must stay off google xxx

  • Hi Vamp. I've read all your replies after your appointment and I'm sorry it's the news it has been. But as you say I found the wait for the result the worst bit too. 

    My breast MRI also picked up something on my liver so I have a liver MRI scan too. Turned out to be cysts and nothing to worry about. 

    Your plan sounds very like mine. It's very much one step at a time. 

    I had my surgery on Wednesday and only told my 5 and 6 year old about the cancer and operation on Sunday. Whilst they are a little younger than your girl they took it better than I thought. 

    Keep in touch. Xx

  • Aw thanks for getting in touch, I'm so glad someone has a similar story ,everyone's experience seems so,so different. I'm hopeful that tests find nothing else

    hold your little ones tight

    I will let you know how I get on, my surgery is not till end of july.

    Take care xxx
