Breast Biopsy

Hi!!

I was referred to Breast Clinic by my GP and had my appointment on Thursday 14 September. I had an examination and ultrasound where I then had a biopsy. After the biopsy was taken the Doctor asked if she could insert a tiny metal ball as it would make it easier to find 'lump' if ever I had to get further investigations. I was then told I would have to wait on results which could take anything up to 2 weeks.

Since then I have had 'the C word' on my mind. Had anyone else had this metal ball inserted and biopsy turned out to be nothing?

Waiting game is theeeee hardest.

Thanks!!

    When I went for my first appointment I had a mammogram, scan and a biopsy. I was told then it didn’t look good and could be cancer. I found out 4 days later I’ve got breast cancer. It’s been caught early and is treatable and curable. I have an oncologist appointment on tues. The waiting is horrible as all sorts go through your head.

    Hope you get your results soon.xx

    Hi!!

     

    I honestly think I am going out of my mind with the not knowing. Once I know I think I'll have a cry and then try be wee positive me again.

    Thinking back to my appointment the Radiographer asked for a second opinion from another Doctor then when preping for the biopsy she scanned my underarm and said everything was fine there. Does that mean its not fine at the other part?

    Ive actually gone from thinking 'yeah it'll be fine' to 'I've got cancer, its spead all over my body and I'm going to die'. I have been keeping myself busy but it's always at the back of my mind.

    Either way it goes I am glad I came across this chat and thank you for your thoughts.

    Hi Stacy,

    Hi Sarahw,

    Welcome to the forum. I am sorry to hear that your mum is waiting for the result of tests. Having had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the past 10 years, I know only too well how worrying this wait can be. 

    We nearly all tend to think the worst, but fortunately this seldom turns out to be the case.

    Do please stay in touch and let us know how your mum gets on. We.are always here for both of you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
