Hi Rambleon88,

A very warm welcome to our forum, although I'm sorry to hear why you've joined us.

A suspected cancer diagnosis always throws us and is seldom something that we're prepared for. It throws us into a tail spin of "what ifs" and our minds are all over the place. Most of us become very tearful, but don't worry about this, as shedding those tears is a great stress reliever. Doctors don't mince their words if they suspect something concerning. I have been told on three occasions that my lump was "suspicious". In one case, biopsy proved them wrong, but they were right in the other two. That was all fifteen years ago now and I feel very grateful to still be living a busy and fulfilling life.

It is always a worry waiting for your results and the way you feel is perfectly normal, given the circumstances. The titanium clips are put in to mark the suspect areas. This a a routine procedure. Have you been given a date for your MRI yet? It is always frustrating when you need these additional tests, but it is good in the long term, as it shows that your consultant and his/her team is doing a thorough job. It shouldn't be much longer before you get your results now. Irrespective of the outcome, you will feel better, once you know what you are dealing with.

Most of us forget about 80% of what is discussed during a consultation, before we leave the hospital grounds. It is always a good idea to write down any questions you may have, before you attend any appointments. This ensures that you don't forget something important, in the heat of the moment. It can also be helpful to have someone attend the consultations with you.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hello both,

Massive hugs to you both.

Thank you so much for responding. 
I have never been in a limbo like this, its just so brutal. 

The consultant said something along the lines of he really didnt like the look of the two lumps and suspects malignancy, he then really quickly mentioned something about possible breast surgery. I was in a complete daze though, I think I just went “Oh, okay, thank you”’and that was it. 
I think they said a MRI a week Monday but sooner if there is a cancelation but I may have had that wrong. 

There were two training nurses in the room, one being sort of assigned to me from now until diagnosis. I hope maybe Im just reading way to much into it but the whole thing felt like he already knew and is just confirming it. 

I feel a total mess though, Im sleeping okay but really struggling to eat and the mornings just feel horrendous right now. 
I go from feeling so relieved that I found this little dent to absolutely terrified of the what if its spread and how desperately I love my family and want a long life with them. I keep having to wear sunglasses all the time right now to hide the fact Im randomly crying. The speed my life has just completely flipped in wild.

Hello everyone.

hope your day is going well.

gosh Im really struggling with the biopsy limbo. I just cant believe the speed Ive gone from being frustrated with work to wishing so hard It hurts that I could just go back to that time in my life where I wasn't completely terrified. Has anyone tried Diazepam to take the edge off? Ive reached out to my GP and explained how I was feeling and have some to pick up later today. Its the mornings Im finding so so hard right now. To anyone else in this limbo, Im so sorry your in this boat because this really sucks. Il hold your digital hand if you need xx 

I really feel for you, I am waiting on result from biopsy, feel nauseous all the time, can’t eat, crying a lot just feeling so scared, it’s the not knowing that’s the worst , I am like you keep thinking of my family and how much I love them.  , when I am a bit more sane I realise from looking at other peoples journey this is the way most people who are going through this feel , my husband and my 2 daughters have been great.  I find this so hard as I have always been the strong one. My heart goes out to you, sending hugs xx

It can be a scary period. I was awake with tears running down my cheeks whilst everyone was sleeping. I kept looking into the eyes of the nurses and doctors telling them how scared I was .Once I got the biopsy results ,my world crumbled. I wanted to run away to somewhere I could scream, shout and cry.

Six months down the line, I have done the surgery and am on recovery route now. I keep tearing the appointment letters up step by step .

Do not overthink, whatever the results will be ,you will find a way to go through. I like Rambleon88's message, the only way out is to go through it.

When are you having the results?

This Friday, thank you I will try and not over think it, the worst time is when I’m by myself. This just came out of the blue, no lumps or anything, just went for my 3year mammogram expecting it to come back normal as usual , then a phone call to come in for scan again and biopsy, it is scary but I’ll try to not over think it

Oh my, that must be difficult, no lumps/anything .I find taking walks a way of keeping one's mind sane a bit.

Waiting for results can take  full control of your thoughts . It keeps popping in and out of your head like a yoyo..lol.

Pls dont google anything ,it makes the anxiety worse. Macmillian website/cancer research is good once you get the results.

Hi there. I was same, no lumps nothing whatsoever, then I get recalled. They moved so fast...yes it's scary and omg the worst wait...don't google anything. Write a diary, put your thoughts down, it helps believe me, it's not easy and we all here for you...one day at a time x

Thank you TM1, I am trying to stay positive but til I get these results I know I’m just going to worry, it’s not easy, least I have people as yourself to talk to x

Thank you Winchest, I really am trying to be positive but it’s so hard, head playing games with me , hope your doing okay, this journey is awful x
