Hello-
Visited the breast clinic this morning - ultrasound and biopsy. I asked outright and the radiologist said it "looked worrying" then the doctor pretty much said it's cancer but we need the biopsy result.
I'm 46. My first husband died while being treated for leukaemia 7 years ago. I met my current husband through a support group for young widows. He lost his first wife to... breast cancer.
I think I'm in shock. My gp was sure it was a cyst. Our kids are 7, 13 and 14 and have already lost a parent.
I'm replaying the morning over and over and convincing myself that the doctor looked really sombre because it's bad. I'm not sure how I'm going to get through the next week.
Hi Medz welcome to the forum and sorry that you didn't get a reply yesterday. You will be in shock and little wonder.
"Pretty much said" is not the same as "definetely said" and I know that might sound silly but it is not a done deal yet and you need to keep positive. The doctor, if they turn out to be right is correct in that they will not know anything until they get the biopsy results and this could yet prove to be something other than Cancer.
The fact that there is a history there for you will not be helping with the levels of worry and I wish I could say to you that it will all be ok and make you feel less worried but unfortunately its a waiting game for the results to come back. However, I hope that it might help in some small way to tell you thta you are not alone and we will all be thinking about you.
You will get through this next week you may have some challenging days and some days when you just want to give up but you wont and we are here for you anytime that you want to chat.
Meantime Im sending some huge big hugs your way for now. xxxxx
