Hi 

Sadly yes all the emotions you are experiencing are normal, our minds can go into overdrive at times especially of stressed and of course waiting for results. 

Most of us use Dr Google which we all know is the worse thing to do but it's like telling a child not to open the sweet jar.

All I can say is your not alone as saying don't worry never works. 

Have they given you a date for results?

Here If you need to chat.

Hi Louise,

Thank you for replying. The result date is tomorrow (30/06/21) and I had the second biopsy two weeks ago. My son and daughter were like "I'm sure it will be fine" and then pretty much changed the subject. I don't really know what to say right now, I'm just so scared and feel so alone. I'm not sure whether to ask my brother or sister-in-law to come with me but it may be a bit short notice now.

Hi Yvette

How old are your son and daughter it may be they just don't know what yo say and also are worried. 

Did the hospital say you could take someone? I was allowed to when I got my results after my biopsy. Ask them you never know one of them may be able to its worth a shot.

Hi,

I'm 53 by the way, sorry I should have said. My son is 32 and daughter 34. I think they are worried as well and I'm not sure if they can take much more grief. My daughter has recently been a carer for her twin sister's (my daughter who died last year) mother-in-law who also has breast cancer. My mum died two years ago of breast cancer, too :-(

I've sent a text to my brother so fingers crossed. I'm sure they said it was ok. To be honest though, I can't remember.

I think the waiting is almost the worst part isn't it?

Am waiting to have a second biopsy (no cancer found 1st time but they want to check again-of course feeling weird mixture of relief and stress)

Of course I googled but managed to stick to sites like this, and wrote down all the questions I thought I might want to ask.

Definitely take someone with you - they won't say no I'm sure, as you need to have another pair of ears there listening. 

Will keep my fingers crossed for you as I do know exactly  how you feel. Remember, as someone said to me, you are feeling an appropriate emotion at an appropriate time, so don't feel bad about it.

Hi Brummiemom,

When is your 2nd biopsy? I hope you don't have to wait too long.

You were so right about about another pair of ears listening. I have literally forgotten everything they told me now and it's only been half a day! 

Hi Ms Badger

Sorry to read your news, but glad you managed to have someone with you, I know I was glad my partner came with me he asked questions I didn't even think of. 

Your family will be shocked but will support you through this, plus this site and also breastcancernow.org is a great help. 

Happy to chat anytime.

So sorry to hear your news.  I am in the waiting week at the moment and it is agony.  I guess when you know it is better than this whatever the news.

Sending you my best wishes and hope all goes well for you.  So thankful for this forum

Hi MsBadger

So sorry to hear your news but really sending you lots of positive thoughts- this  is totally treatable, you are really going to be looked after and things are going to happen very quickly for you now. 

Have a friend going through this (dcis- op then radiotherapy) and she says is looking at it as  a few months out of her life she just has to get through to get her life back...

I wish you all the very best  and  keep posting- it helps so much knowing that there are other people who understand what you're going through.

My second biopsy isn't until the end of July- hoping this is a good sign that they're not really worried but do think they suspect something like dcis or lcis when they said wanted to rule out 'precancerous cells'....so quite a while to wait. Some good days when I can forget about it  and some bad days where I literally choose funeral hymns because I think they'll actually find lobular cancer...
