Waiting biopsy results

Hi all,

Just joined as I think the support helps when people are going through the same, I am 47, had first mammogram 16 days ago, got called back for another mammogram and ultra sound and 3 biopsies and now waiting, was told to go to my appointment 14th Jan unless I get a call for an earlier appointment,  I am.so bloody scared, you cannot feel a lump and it's a mass right deep in my breast  What's worrying me is that i have been back and forth to drs over the years about discomfort where the mass is and got told its muscular,  now I am thinking it's been growing for a while and the biopsy will be really bad news....I got a long wait but each day if I get a with held number I will be so scared to answer.....every ache and pain now I relate to something going on in my body, it's just awful..I am.so scared xx

  • Oh my lovely that's really tough for you to take in, and you are just too young to have to deal with it all, I thought of you this morning....

    The fact that it's been caught early is the positive you  need to hold on to, then you can be treated and will come out the other side.

    Two people I work with have both had mastectomy and one has had a rebuild, both advice was listen to what you are told and do it and you will get through it.

    I am so sorry as I cannot imagine hearing that...I am still dreading my appointment Tuesday....the one thing I would say about both of us is that what I may or may not have and the diagnosis you have  had we were not called back urgently, so what you have then I would think is treatable and not a life sentence...

    Hiw are you feeling?  X

  • I think I'm very lucky that my lump was where it was as they think it is less than 1cm so if it was deeper I might have missed it. They have said it is "very treatable" which is positive. They have mentioned genetic testing as I'm young and have a family history of it but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it! Feeling slightly unstable at the minute, one minute crying and the next OK! Really hoping I don't have to have chemotherapy but if I need to then I obviously will. Going to try and keep things as normal as possible for my children until we know more and while I can! Fingers still crossed for good news for you xx

  • Thank you for your reply. Already had a nosey on that forum and found somebody in exactly the same position (age and very nearly the same aged children). Will keep you updated, thanks again xx

  • I think your children will keep you going, they found it early which is what you want to hear if it's the C word, and can be treated...that's the better Breast cancer diagnosis, so yes your emotions will be all over the place, but your children will keep you strong and get tou through the next step....but it's the best news when you hear cancer, its treatable.....

    Sending love and strength , I'll let you know Tuesday what's going on with me xx

  • Glad to be of a bit of help. It really does help sharing your feelings with those in a similar situation. Or even writing in a journal. I had a visit at work today(I work in a cafe) from my daughter her partner and my granddaughter age 16 months. And found out that I am going to be a granny again. What lovely news to take my mind off waiting for biopsy results. It's given me something to look forward to. I hope and pray all your treatment goes well. Give your little ones lots of hugs they will keep you going. Thinking of you .

  • Oh what fantastic news congratulations!! Thank you. Fingers crossed you get positive results :) x

  • So sorry to hear your news but sending positive thoughts to you and your family. I am waiting results and my nurse told me that I may have some news on Monday, it's been a long stressful week I am 45 with an 8 and 5 year old.

    xx

  • Thank you. Any news for you yet? I've been told I will have to have chemotherapy today which is another blow but it's got to be done! X

  • How did you get on today thinking of you. I am still waiting to hear about results. Will probably be next week sometime. Take care Lesley
