I'm the same right now hen. Had biopsys n waiting my results on 22 DEC. I'm so scared too. Can't eat or sleep.x

I am in the same boat - went for trial screening for under 50's (I'm 49), called back due to "insufficient information" and when I went back I could just tell they were concerned. Had an ultrasound and biopsy on a 2cm suspicious lump. I asked if they thought it was cancer and she said "yes i do". I am now awaiting the results of the biopsy which all I can assume is confirmation - it was like being hit by a train and my heart felt heavy BUT there isn't such a thing as a problem.... it's the solution that matters! Thousands of women go through this and come out the other side with positive results! I'm going to HAVE to try and enjoy Xmas (what a time to go through this worry!) for my family - I'm glad I found this forum.

So sad to read how many of you out there are waiting for results and feeling real fear. Just jumping in to say that there is much success with treating breast cancer. I've come out the other end of treatment and am still processing it all, but it's doable. Ok, I no longer have a 'matching pair', but hey. If some of you are unlucky enough to get a cancer diagnosis, hold tight. Once you start treatment you won't be alone. Surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, herceptin, you'll find lots of others going along at your side. I would say be true to yourself and your feelings. Some people feel they have to be 'positive', 'strong', 'brave' etc because we're led by much of what's written about dealing with cancer to see it as a heroic struggle, a battle, the fight of your life and so on. I think it's fine to be who you are. In the face of adversity we all respond differently. Do it your way. It's now 04.07hrs on Boxing Day morning and I'm on Cancer Chat! Hope this helps.

Hi all. I've been reading the posts you all lovely ladies have written and it does make me feel better as I'm not alone. I've had mamogram,  scan and biopsy yesterday.  It wasn't nice at all and at the same time, they have inserted some kind of clip. I feel like a dog who's been chipped.  My scan and mamogram were normal but as my breasts are very densed,  they wanted to make sure what was the shadow in my left breast.  Needless to say,  I'm petrified and don't think I can wait till Monday for the results. 

Big hugs to all of you lovely ladies.
