Waiting for biopsy following breast clinic

Hi,

 

I am wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar. 

I was seen in breast clinic this week. The consultant said she is a little concerned as I have discharge out my left nipple and a lump could be seen to left breast.

I have had 3 mammograms  an ultrasound and biopsy x 3 to 2 areas and a needle aspiration of an enlarged lymph node in my armpit.

 

I am so worries and have to wait 2 weeks for results. I ha e 3 childre  and this waiting us so difficult.  

 

Thanks

    Hello Lillybob I'm so sorry you are going through this difficult time ,it is hard  and you having to wait is horrible, but it seems it  is the usual path for most, who find themselves in this position. 

    I know its not easy but try to do stay positive and don't Google things, it will make you worry more. 

    My advice to you is try to stay calm and get through this  as best as you can,try to take your mind of off over thinking,and  maybe make some tine for yourself ,maybe do some things for you ,haveva pamper day or night,light some candles put in some relaxing music, run a relaxing bubble bath ,cleanse and tone your face,put on  a face mask ,jump.in the bath and relax.Or you could read ir take yourself off for a nice walk.  Or bake anything  to take yoir mind off of things. 

    It may not be cancer ,but if it is ,you will  be well looked after ,and you will be offered the right trestmenrs  tailored just for you.  

    The thing that helped me when I was diognosed with breast cancer in May 2020 was ,I kept thinking of the alternatives, like what if u hadn't found my cancerous lump, it doesn't bear thinking about, but if I hadn't of found it it coukd if been much worse than it was,so I looked in the positives of it all,rather than tge negatives.  

    Good luck with evetything, and I am here if you need to talk ,as I'm sute will be many others in here .x

  • Hey Lillybob,

    The wait is so hard, I'm sorry you're going through this.   I'm also in limbo. Had FNA 2 wks ago and today have been asked to go back for core  needle biopsy next wk. I know i will then have the wait afterwards too. The only thing we can do is be positive and know we will get whatever treatment is needed if need be.  I have 3 kids too. I'm going to try my best to look after myself, eat well, exercise and sleep as well as possible.   Hoping you get good news xx

  • Hi,

    Thank you so much for your reply. I'm sorry you have had to go through breast cancer. Did you get your diagnosis straight after the scans or did you wait for biopsy results? I hope you are ok now.

    Thanks for your advice. I am doing my best to stay positive. Xx

  • Hi Hotppt,

    Thanks for your reply. I'm sorry to hear you are going through something similar. I think your plan sounds good as it is so important to look after yourself.  

    Take care xx

  • Hi all

    I too am waiting for breast biopsy results. I am absolutely terrified as well. They told me they didn't think it was anything to worry about but I'm not at all convinced. I think they just didn't want me worrying as I was in a bit of a state once I realised they were doing a biopsy. I can't even remember what they said they thought it could be... I am really dreading the results appointment. 

  • Sorry to hear that Mar01. I have everything crossed that you get good news tomorrow.
