Waiting for Breast Cancer Biopsy Results

Hi, 

Im new on here and I don't even know if anyone will reply. 

52 had my first mammogram on 31st December and was called back on the 15th Jan for another mammogram, CT Scan and Biopsy as they had concern about a certain area.  I went back from my results and was advised that they wanted to do an vacuum biopsy on the area. I went back this Tuesday and they changed the plan and did a biopsy on another close to the first. They said there is a possibility they may have to do surgery to remove the whole area. I was in alot of pain Tuesday and rested up.  My left boob has been very itchy prior to all this drama and I dont know if its just my age of part of the issue. 

Anyways, I have an appointment for my results on Thursday.  I have been going on my own for all these appointments, however my mum has insisted she comes with me next week. 

Im not sure how to feel, should I be worried, I feel I have to put everything on hold until I know what I am dealing with. Am I being a drama queen and its just procedure. Its a bit overwhelming... Im not sleeping well but then I dont really. its like a little black cloud over my head at the moment. 

I have a great network of friends and work, however some say dont worry about it keep positive, some listen but unless you are going through it, its difficult to explain what you are feeling .

  • Hi Kelly, just wanted to wish you well for Thursday. I have been recalled for further investigation following a mammogram, appointment Thursday too. I had treatment for early stage breast cancer two years ago. I've recovered well, forget about it most days. I think the waiting affects everyone differently. I struggled to sleep, felt terrified, kept having to retreat to the bathroom to hide!! Whatever gets you through! I'm 52 as well but was on a trial for screening for women just under 50, Case4
