Today I get my biopsy results for Breast lump

Good morning all 

today has finally arrived after one hell of a week on a very emotional rollercoaster 

i get my biopsy results today after a breast lump found on routine mammogram 

i am terrified of what today will bring I’ve already convinced myself it’s the C word with over thinking and fear of the unknown I’m supposed to be going on overseas holiday on Saturday for 2 weeks I’m wondering if it is cancer if I’m going to make it I’m very close to cancel or should I still go I’m mentally drained but otherwise I’m not ill just the anxiety that’s bad with allsorts if pains going through the body especially in the neck and shoulder and back I’m really scared to say the least i really want to go if it is the worst outcome I’m sure the treatment wouldn’t start for a few weeks anyway I think myself and husband would welcome the break wishing good luck to anyone else awaiting results xx

  • Hi Lovely,

    Not the news we wanted for you,but it’s totally treatable..... the lumpectomy operation is ok and everything crossed your lymph nodes are clear!!!

    Its a shock but we are all at different stages of treatment so I’m sure we will all be here to help you.

    I am post lumpectomy and off to see Oncologist on Monday for a chat about the tablets I’m guessing and then the radiotherapy which I’ve been told will be 15 sessions.

    Here if you want to chat like everyone.

    loads love Jackie xxx

  • Hi there ...

    That's a bummer ... and yea it's better knowing then being in the dark .. but I remember crying for two days , locked away on my own .. got every feeling out .. then got up brushed myself down .. put on a pair of vertual boxing gloves... nice pink ones ... and was ready to get in the ring and look it in the eye ... 

    So be ready for different emotions to come and go ...  but all those breast lasses that came on here with me 2 years ago, are still here .. we've not lost one yet .. and one of them has just had a new baby to boot ..   so hold on .. get your gloves on, and join us all in the ring ... kicking cancers butt ... 

    Sending you a vertual hug...  Chrissie x

  • Snap! It's all totally doable love, you just get impatient to crack on with treatment.....keep us updated? Xxx

  • Thanks so much everyone I’m going on holiday on Saturday I’m not going to cancel because of this Dr agreeable I’m otherwise feeling well in myself and get the holiday over with and try to enjoy I’m sure I will it’s no need to stay at home crying and looking forward to the break nothing happens treatment wise for a good few weeks anyway so will take the edge of waiting.

    Much love to you all xx

  • Hi Lovely,

    i think you are doing the right thing,go away,rest and relax and enjoy!!! 

    Nothing is going to change so great idea rather than sit at home worrying and crying....

    Go for it and have a fantastic break because you deserve it!!! 

    Love Jackie xxx

  • hi I had my lumpectomy yesterday 2 nodes removed 1st one negative 2nd one borderline everything went to plan came home late last night my choice they wanted me to stay overnight as I’d been dehydrated  due to pre surgery  fasting and needed a lot of iv fluids but I’m ok now just tired and sore throat from the anaesthetic I have no pain and feeling comfortable and rested I now wait 3 weeks for results and a way forward with a treatment plan .
