Waiting for breast biopsy results

Hi all I’m new to the site

I was referred by the GP for a breast lump and had a mammogram and ultrasound done in the clinic which the doctor was happy with on the day (although there was asymmetrical appearances) but I was told at that point no need fir biopsy or follow up.

But following the radiology report which said granular microcalcifications I was called back and had three core biopsies taken.

I’m now waiting for the results which should be back tomorrow or Tuesday and feeling s little uncertain/ nervous 

thanks for reading x

    Hi shoobeedo,

    I got my results this morning and I have cancer. 

    They told me I have 2 types Ducta carcinoma insitu and Invasive ductal cancer.

    I dont know how long I have had it as it did not show up when checking my breasts. I was lucky that they have found it and now Im on a journey to get rid of it!  I have to have a CT scan before they start treatment because we dont know if it has spread from my lymph node to any other parts of my body.

    I'm trying so hard to be positive and my husband has been a tower of strength.  I now face telling my family and a trip to Sussex to see them as we live in Wales.

    I hope you get better news and please don't let it beat you!

    I am truly sorry for your diagnosis and pray that they have caught it before it has spread.

    Its good that you have a supportive husband (I wish I did), it makes all the difference... 

    Thank you so much for replying, and I lust say you do sound very very strong. You’re an inspiration. 

    May I ask how much you lymph nodes were swollen (were they very big?) and whether they were tender? Also, you had tumors in your breast that you didn’t know about? So scary :-( 

    I have some similar symptoms and I am obviously petrified. I have my appt for tests on Monday and am literally not sleeping... I have a 12 year old boy and he is my one true love... and am ‘co-habiting’ with my husband in very toxic atmosphere....

    sending you virtual hugs and strength to start your journey... I think this forum is such a godsend ️

    Hi shoobeedo, thank you for your support.  I think because I have been through so much with my past, Ex husband being a controlling manic depressive and realizing I had to get out before he destroyed me and then 4 years ago I discovered I had a undiagnosed heart condition that I now have a pacemaker/difibrilator in case my heart stops or speeds up, I have had to be strong and change my life.

    I now have this to deal with and it scares the **** out of me.

    I will do everything I can to beat it and you can too.

    I didnt notice the nodes being enlarged just felt a bit uncomfortable at times.

    I hope Monday goes ok for you, but if you do have all the tests at least you know they are doing everything they can for you.

    Sending you virtual hugs xx
