Awaiting biopsy results

1. Hi. I’m kind of in the same boat. Nurse said mammogram not clear due to my age, I’m 44. But from ultrasound they think it is cancer. I have a lump in my right breast, calcifications & something in axillary lymph nodes which is still unclear. Waiting for Biopsy results next Monday. In the beginning I didn’t want to worry my friends & family who live outside UK, but once told this I realised I need support & reached out which helped me feel not alone. I think I will need professional mental support after results are out. Being here helped me keep informed as I’d hate to be bombarded with information & having to make blind decisions next week. Good luck to you this week.

Hello. 
I am so sorry that you find yourself here, and that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer. 
The waiting is the worst, and hardest part, 

Once you get a treatment plan, it does get easier. Have they told you what treatment that you may need? 
Sending hugs. xx

Sending you hugs too. xx

Thank you. Good luck to you too. Xx

No I don’t know anything yet. Which is making me very anxious. I’m very anxious of what the future holds xx thank you for replying 

Were you told that you had cancer without having the biopsy results back?

I had a biopsy yesterday. All I have been told is that they found something suspicious. Next appointment has been booked for 3 weeks time which feels forever away.

my husband got diagnosed with bowel cancer and was told during his colonoscopy that they had found a cancer before getting the biopsy results. 

This is making me think that they have just taken a biopsy to be on the safe side. Don’t really know what to think at this point

i hope all goes well for your appointment on Thursday 

Yes, they told me it was malignant. They could tell from the scan. 

Try not to worry, they probably couldn’t be certain with yours and did a biopsy anyway to make sure. 3 weeks is a long time to wait. Do you have a breast nurse’s phone number to ring? Results are usually back in 1 week. Explain that you’re anxious. 

Thank you for your reply. Good luck with your results xx

They didn’t really say a lot. The appointment was not what I expected at all. I was not prepared for it. I went to the appointment and had an exam, then was sent to mammogram from there was sent for an ultrasound where a biopsy was done and a metal clip inserted. Then had another mammogram then was sent back to the original specialist who said they’ve graded it as suspicious and I’ll hear back from them in about 2-3 weeks. I’ve since had an appointment come through for 16th March. I don’t know what to make of it all. I haven’t told anyone incase there’s nothing to tell. I don’t want to worry anyone unnecessarily but keep thinking this could be bad. I’m ok one minute then just start overthinking. It would help if they were a bit more transparent. I hope you’re doing ok xx

You need someone to talk to and support. The breast nurses are there for you. Try and speak to them. Ask if you can be put on a cancellation list incase an earlier appointment comes up. 

i wish the best for you xx

I rang them yesterday because I couldn’t remember a thing that was said after the scans but no one got back to me. Asking for an earlier appointment is a very good idea.

i think I’ll just keep it to myself for now until the results come back. I’ve just been made redundant from a job I love due to a restructure and my hubby has been told that he needs further surgery so don’t want to put any pressure on him.

thank you for replying. Sorry for putting on you when you’re going through it yourself.

good luck for your results tomorrow. I’ll be thinking of you xx
