Strong feelings

Hi Nina99 I've already had a tumor removed but can tell you that I found the biopsy experience much worse than the actual breast surgery (2 attempts & the local anaesthetic did not numb all of the pain). Biopsy area was sore for a long time and I actually had a locum nurse change dressings for me as they were hard to do unless looking in a mirror and I was also an emotional wreck and did not feel able to deal with changing the dressing myself at the time. In fact, i found that because the nurse did the dressing change for me she was able to calm my worries by checking that the biopsy area was healing as it should.

Hi Peaceful1,

 I agree with you about the biopsy that was probably my worst part of this journey too.

All I know is that the biopsy was positive and I’m waiting on a breast mri scan now. It’s the lack of control and like you, I hate not being organised. Feel so anxious and worried all the time. Hopehen I have more info I can calm down a bit. The waiting is truly awful. You have a good outlook on things. Sometimes I think like that too but others I’m googling funeral plans

Hi Ladies, 

How are you all doing? (Don’t know how to tag - sorry) 

I was also 39 at diagnosis - what is it about that number?!! With two children aged 11 and 9 (the worst bit for me was telling them) It’s been difficult but I’ve got through it and so will you, just tackle one appointment at a time and try and steer your thoughts in a positive direction- easier said than done, I know. 

Although I am pretty much out the other side now (fingers crossed) if you need any advice or support please do message me. It’s good to be able to help even if just a little bit.

Much Love to you all

Hi Beans79

To 'tag' members just type the 'at' symbol you use for email addresses then without a space type the members name.

You will see a list of names appear as you type but it is better to type it out in full before selecting it as so many names here are similar.

note; this doesn't work with some devices though ?

Best way is to give it a try

Thank you Beans for such a lovely message. It’s been a difficult few days but I got my results back and biopsy was negative. I have an extreme infection with a lot of scar tissue. The doctor I saw said he has never seen anything like it so was very worried originally. It was a case he had to discuss with his team.  I am relieved of course but they have put me on antibiotics then want to do another biopsy as sometimes results can be wrong...I think they are just making sure...I’m thinking of the rest of you who are yet to get results. I’ll keep everything crossed for you. You will get through this whatever the outcome is. Xxx

That’s great news @Nina99 I’m so pleased for you.

Wishing you a speedy recovery from the infection - that sounds really nasty

Much love xxxxx

Beans79 thank you. Sounds it but I’m fine. In the grand scheme of things it’s something small. Xxx
