Lump and microcalcifications - pre-diagnosis - HELP

Hi, so I found a hard lump under my breast and got referred on - had all the usual tests early this week and three biopsies from the lump via ultrasound when they also put in a metal marker. Was told it would be 1-2 weeks for biopsy results by person doing them.  Then saw consultant and was told my mammogram showed microcalcifications in the same breast that weren't there in my previous mammogram in 2017 (strangely no mention of the mammogram I had Oct 2020).  Anyway then told they need to do stereotactic biopsy on the microcalcifications under mammogram and couldn't do that on the day - up to two week wait. When I asked about the results of biopsies on lump, I was told that I won't get any results or info until they have results of both biopsies circa 6 week.  I can't find any info on having a lump and microcalcifications anywhere. I am the sort of person who needs to face possibilities and I feel very much in the dark and afraid. 
 

Has anyone heard of or experienced this please?

  • Hi Jolamine, thanks for that - oh yes, sorry, only because I asked but I was told it was fine - assume adequate blood vessels then - fingers crossed xx ️

    Hi Mickey,

    This all sounds like good news. Time is marching on and it won't be too long for you now.

  • I'll keep you posted Jolamine, thank you xx ️

  • Morning (just about) Jolamine, 

    Im just back from my bloods and other pre-op usual checks. Hopefully all ok.  I meant to post before I left this morning, sorry, in the rush I didn't.  I really hope that hubby's phone assessment today goes/went well and you have a way forward now/today. 
     

    Much love Mickey xx ️

    Hi Mickey,

    I'm glad to hear that all pre-op checks seem to have gone well. Hubby had his telephone consultation this morning and, after ahalf an hour discussion has gone away to see if she can arrange a home visit for him. What a waste of time. Think of how many extra patients could be treated instead of wasting all this time talking - still, hopefully we're moving in the right direction. Not long for you to wait now - I hope that this week fyls by for you.

  • Hi Jolamine, thank you, hopefully the results should be fine. 
     

    I'm glad hubby got his phone call at least.  It's positive they were prepared to look at a home visit, but did they give any timescale for getting back to him. I'm wondering whether the new restrictions might hinder them doing this now, I sincerely hope not.  I just hope that you're not both left hanging again and that you get a clear direction forward and timescales for this very soon. Please keep me posted. Sending positivity your way.

    Hi Mickey,

    No time scale and the girl was not even sure if she could arrange a home visit. She was talking about us having to travel for treatment. Unfortunately, as hubby is not allowed to drive any more, this will involve me too, in order to get him to his appointments. The annoying thing is that we are right next door to a large physio unit and 5 minutes away from our local hospital, which also has a large physio unit. 

    Still, he'll be grateful for any treatment that he can get.

  • Hi Jolamine,


    I'm sorry to hear that. It makes absolutely no sense for you to have to travel when you're so close to your own unit - why would they send hubby somewhere else? Surely that's a breach of inclusion/diversity policy not accounting for his mobility needs? 
     

    Keeping everything crossed that you hear soon.

    Thanks Mickey,

    I will let you know when we hear anything.

  • UPDATE: Well after months of waiting I’m at the last pre-surgery hurdle. Had my covid test on Saturday, today I go back to have the blue dye injected into my breast and then 7am admission tomorrow for my surgery - right masectomy with immediate diep reconstruction. Not quite sure how I’ll get through today, but the hospital apt will break up the day, I guess. It’s been such a long wait for me, I’m not sure how I feel about saying goodbye to booby. Thanks for reading and ongoing support - virtual hugs Mickey xx ️
