Thanks all, I'm feeling a little calmer today. I get to take the dressing from the biopsy off today and am looking forward to a hot shower. Trying to stay positive 

Hi Lainia,

I hope that you enjoyed that hot shower this morning.

I'm glad to hear that you are feeling a little calmer today. Be prepared for a rollercoaster of emotions, while you're waiting for results - we all have them, so you're not alone. Remember that we're always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi Laina

At the risk of repeating what others have said, it is a worrying time and your mind will try to take you to the darkest of places. Please try not to go there by distracting yourself (go for a walk in the fresh air, keep busy, meet friends, listen to calming/happy music, watch a feelgood movie, etc). Above all, don't Google breast cancer as you will see things that will be irrelevant, untrue or out of date, and will only make you more anxious for nothing. It sounds as if there is something suspicious (this was exactly the same for me and I was diagnosed a couple of weeks later) and if so you will get all the information at your appointment. For me, that appointment was a great relief. They told me about my breast cancer and what they were going to do to treat it. I left with a smile on my face. Mine was aggressive but it has responded really well to treatment as there are so many tools at the oncologists' disposal now. So, please take heart. We're all rooting for you and know you'll be just fine. Trust your medical team, they will take the best care of you. 

Lots of love xx

Hi 

I had biopsie and MRI this week lump just above left nipple. I'm an absolute mess waiting for results on Monday. Can't eat or sleep panic attacks and really shaky. I'm 52 so fall right into the age category. Life has been turned upside down. It's such a horrible time

Hi Cazy,

I know exactly how you are feeling. I have been throwing myself into work to get through and my results are on wednesday.  Everyone tells me to be hopeful and positive but it's so hard to.  All I can suggest is finding something to occupy your mind as much as possible. And if you wanna shout, scream or cry....Do it.  There is no correct way to feel rn. Good luck and thing of you.

I had a mammogram and ultra sound plus core biopsies 2 weeks ago. The breast surgeon highly suspects cancer. I was M4U4. I went for the results on Thursday and the biopsy was inconclusive and clear breast tissue. I had to have the core biopsy repeated and 2 samples taken, have to wait a further 2 weeks. The ultrasound Dr said she would put me at U3 now. Anyone else had this happen?

I had my results this morning and it is Grade 2 breast cancer. The plan is to remove the lump and some nodes to check them. Then radiation therapy abd hormone treatment as it's sensitive to oestrogen and progesterone, so I will have my coil removed and tablets for 10 years.

Feelibg very numb right now. Have lots of leaflets to look through but that can wait a day of two. 

Thinking of you Lainia. 

Have you had your results yet?
