Waiting on breast biopsy results

Im waiting on breast biopsy results, i get them on monday, the waiting is just dreadful, sometimes your gut feeling tells you what you know but this time i just dont know! Anyone feel or felt the same?

    Hi Karenk,

    A very warm welcome to our forum. I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the past 12 years, plus a few false alarms, so I have been through a number of biopsies. All I can say, is that the wait never gets any easier. Most of us would say that this is one of the worst parts of our cancer journey, as thereare so many unknowns and uncertainties. 

    I am glad to hear that you don't have much longer to wait. Try to keep yourself occupied with other distractions to help the time to pass a little quicker over the weekend.

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

    Kind regards,

  • Hi Jolamine

    Thank you for the reply, the waiting is hard! routine mammogram because i turned 50 so results were unclear, had it done again at the clinic scan and biopsies done, consultant said it looks like a cancer but looks like a radial scar also, so its the unknown at the moment, ive been strong but i crumbled at work yesterday its so hard not knowing, dont know what my gut feeling is telling me either, working tonight so will take my mind of it because its all you think about.

    Hi Karenk,

    It is hard to stay strong all of the time and most of us buckle at some stage. A high proportion of people are recalled after a first mammogram, as there are no previous mammograms to compare the findings to, but the majority end up being clear. You will feel better on Monday regardless of the outcome, because at least you will know what you are dealing with.

    It's just as well that you are working tonight, as keeping busy is the only way to try and keep your mind off it. As I said before, we are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

  • Hi

     

    Thankyou for your support, as with every one else, i had a mass about 20 years ago and got the results same day, had a needle test to confirm it back then, and it was negative, i saw on the mammogram on the 1st of September an image, first the nurse said the consultant said it looks like a cancer, then after the scan and biopsies she said the consultant wasn't as concerned as the initial mammogram in the morning but has questioned maybe a radial scar, they have put a clip in so i dont know what in thinking just now, gut feeling i don't know, one or the other negative or something positive! But the concern is they have saw sonething, not a lump but something inbetween 2 tiny cysts which they found quite hard to get to when doing the biopsy, tell you something never saw bruising like it in my life lol

  • Hi

    Not hearing for 8 months god thats long, do you need treatment after the operation? So youll find out on the 17th I hope its all good news, when i go on monday with my mum the nurse said it will be myself or the other senior nurse, a consultant or surgeon from the hospital is that what happens when you go to the clinic for the results?
