Waiting for Breast biopsy result

Found a lump on my left breast and went to doctor. 2 weeks later had a mammogram, scan and 6 biopsy’s. they found a second lump. The doctor on the same day told me I needed to have blood tests and booked a CT scan a week later. By that point I became upset and asked if it was confirmed I had BC and the doctor and consultant kind of looked at me, made a strange face and once I started crying told me I had to wait for the results. Is this normal? It is consuming me not knowing and the thought of having BC. I am 48 and have a 13 years old boy. Don’t know what to think of all this. I have the results next Tuesday but I am so scared!

  • Hi there and ... Your Dr sounds a bit hard ... I know we all had to wait, but he could have been a little gentler and caring ... We have nearly all said the waiting is the worse part ... This journey we have is just a waiting game , for want of a better word ... But there's lots of us on here been there and now I know why we sit in a "waiting room"  and most lumps are o.k ... 

    I'm 6 months post masectomy, and I was petrified, but looking back it wasn't half as bad as I'd imagined.. it's the unknown that scared me ... Try to keep as busy as poss, as hard as that is, it helps not to go to the "what ifs" as that makes it overwhelming.... Hope you have someone with you when you go to appointment ... Write down questions and ask who you take to have pen and paper there to write down what they say as I didn't take nothing in ... Just sat there nodding ... And remember it just may be o.k ..

    You will go through lots of emotions, it's only nateral , we all do ... Your not on your own ... Always someone here to lean on ... Chrisie xx
