Hi MickeyM,

A very warm welcome to our forum. 

Stereotactic biopsy will give your team the chance to look at your breast in more detail. This doesn't always signify bad news, but is a good sign that your care team is being thorough. It is impossible to find out much until the results of your biopsy come back and you know exactly what you are dealing with. You should find some information about DCIS and calcifications on the Cancer Research Website. Try to avoid consulting Dr Google, as much of his information is out of date, poorly researched and aimed at the more spectacular cases. This will only serve to worry you further.

There is a lady called Karen1971 on the forum. She has been posting under the title ‘Waiting on breast biopsy results.’ If you do a search for her, you may be able to help one another through this.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Thank you Jolamine, your reply was really helpful and appreciated. Thank you so much for taking the time xx 

Hi MickeyM,

I am glad to hear that your GP has been understanding. Will your work be happy with flexible working? It's a pity that you have to wait for another 2 weeks for your biopsy.

You will find it useful to draw up a list of questions for your consultant and to take it with you on Thursday, as it's all too easy to forget something important in the heat of the moment.

Heres hoping that you manage to get a good night's sleep tonight.

Morning Jolamine, 

Thank you for your reply. I'd asked my boss for the sickness and cancer/serious illness policies before we spoke in the afternoon. I'd also sent her my GP note and spoken to my trade union (just incase).  My boss was fantastic and so supportive and that made me feel better. Realistic that despite me wanting to working currently that could change at any time. I was also asked how, what and when I wanted colleagues to know. I still need to think about that. I told a couple more what I considered 'good friends' last night and it's just so difficult. 
 

I slept three hours straight and managed to get back off nearly every time I woke up, so that was really positive. 
 

I hope you have a lovely day Jolamine. Thank you for your support as ever. 
 

love n hugs

Hi Mickey,

I am delighted to hear that your boss was so supportive yesterday. You will probably find that many of your colleagues already know, as it is amazing how effective bush telegraph is in cases like this. When you decide to tell the rest is up to you. 

I'm so glad to hear that you managed some sleep last night. Here's hoping that this continues.

I hope that all goes well when you see your consultant tomorrow.

regards,

Hi Jolamine, thank you . I ended up getting a call for a last minute cancellation and have just had the stereotactic biopsies done. High as a kite but glad that's over xx 

Oh Mickey,

That is fantastic - no wonder your on clod nine!  When are the results due to be back?

Jolamine xx

Thanks Jolamine, I'm high from the anaesthetic still, just realised I haven't eaten all day, so probably didn't help. Had some toast now to tide me over and hopefully will stop the queasiness. I'm hoping results will be ready for MDT meeting on Thursday 21/10, but that's probably pushing it a bit xx 

Hi Mickey,

I'm glad to hear that you have had some toast and hope that you are feeling less queasy now.

It is pushing it a bit to have your results for the MDT on  21st, but it is possible. Have they said when you will get the results of the MDT?

Hi lovely how are you doing? Been thinking of you. X

Hi 4105ac,

How are you coping with the wait for your biopsy results? I hope that it won't be too long before you get them.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Hi I'm ok just keeping busy and trying to think every day no news is good news. I struggle with the not knowing and the wait. Its the hardest part. Especially with my mum having had bc it's hard to keep positive some days. My apt is on weds for my results x

Hi 4105ac,

It is so difficult to struggle with the unknown. Having lost my own mum to breast cancer, I know how you feeal - no doubt your imagination has taken you to some dark places at times. It is hard to keep positive, but try your best. This time next week you'll know what you're dealing with and be able to move forward.

I'll be thinking of you on Wednesday.

Lind regards,
