Bornworrier, thinking of you for Thursday.  Update us on how you get on xx

Thank you to you all.  It has been good news.  The mammogram I had routinely showed a change from previous ones.  They wanted to get it checked out and after two biopsies they can confidently say that there is no problem.  I am now going back to routine 3 year mammograms.  I wish you all the luck in the world all of you with your cancer journey.  I can totally sympathise with anyone who has to wait for results.  I was so nervous this afternoon I thought I was going to pass out and burst into tears.

With love and best wishes xxx

That's great news!  So pleased for you :)xx

It's  such a help to read folks writing exactly what I'm thinking.

Routine boobogram last Mon,  recall letter on Friday,  one-stop clinic today (ain't  the NHS brill!) More boobograms, ultrasound, FIVE biospsies! and even more boobograms.

There is a large dark shadow which the doc said several times "isn't a lesion". I gather that lesion is good,  so,  bum.

Doc not sure what it is,  so lots of biopsy samples (she had to push really hard to get one, and I think it bled a lot) but at least my lymph nodes look normal,  she said. 

Results of biopsies end of next week,  so I have ten days to try not to think about it,  but then,  I want to think about it because if it's something serious I need to be prepared.  I'm a lone parent and work p/t self employed.  So...  no work=no money. And I lose working tax credit as well,  so that's a double whammy.   :-( and my children have developed the inconvenient habits of eating and growing. I have no family around to take over mummying duties if I'm out of action.  I can't afford to be ill. 

This is not how it should be.  I am the mum.  I am indestructible. I am always there and always capable and always supporting,  never supported. Bits are not supposed to fall off or break.  Bum. 

Thanks for listening,  folks.  Nice just to get this off my chest (so to speak!) it's  really encouraging to read the stories of those waiting for biopsy results,  both those who gone good news and those who did not. I feel I'm not alone in this. 

Thanks xx

Hi,

 I have just found this chat and found it really helpful.  I am going to have my one stop assessment on Wednesday and worrying because I have changes to my left breast. It’s larger than the other one, painful all the time with a lump, puffiness in the armpit plus pain and a swollen arm and fingers!  Had an assessment 4 years ago where they diagnosed a benign ridge without doing a biopsy and I am now worrying that they have missed something. Not so worried for myself but for my kids, especially my youngest who is six.

Joyma this sounds similar to me. I went to doc with a lump under my breast where my bra line was. I had a scan but was told it was a cyst. It changed, flattened and grew bigger so went back in the summer. Doctor didnt know what it was but thought it was a non urgent skin problem so saw the Dermatologist in November. She referred me to the breast clinic two weeks later. I had a biopsy, mammogram and scan. A week later I heard it was Inflammatory Breast Cancer. I was immediately put on oestrogen inhibiting drugs which should shrink the tumour. That was last Thursday. I had blood tests and an ECG, yesterday I had a CT scan and today an MRI. I get the results on 13th December. I am dreading that day as I cant believe it hasnt spread everywhere in 4 years. The doctors say to remain positive as I am already on medication to shrink it and I have been assigned a special nurse I can ring any time I have a question. 

I hope it goes well on Wednesday. Keep us posted.

I'm. Also waiting for my biopsy results. I'm so nervous and just feel like it is going to be bad news.

Does everyone feel like that? 

My.mum and sister both had breast cancer I went for check up and took biopsy I am do scared she said thinks it's a gland but abit of shadowing I'm so scared

My biopsy was positive for cancer but I am trying to stay upbeat. One in eight women will get breast cancer but they will not die of it!

Hi there,

I just wondered if you got the results? I really hope your results where all ok and normal My mum is going through the awaiting of results of a biopsy and as her daughter, I'm going out of my mind with worry. My mum is fine and barely even worrying, or at least she isn't showing it if she is. So I am trying to reassure myself and look at other women's experiences. They said it looks very abnormal and we should be prepared but they also said it could be nothing at all and no further action may be needed. They said if it is bad they have found it very early so I am hoping it will be all ok.
