I am new ️ Hi I had a recall back from my yearly mammograms. They have seen something growing. I had a 3d mammogram then the doctor looked at them and then I went in with the doctor and he did ultrasound for a while and then said we are doing a biopsy there and the. He took 4 lots and put a titanium tag in so know where it is. I am 46 and a single parent to two boys the waiting and worrying is so bad this happened yesterday and I have to wait for results day on the 13th October. Cancer or benign? I have already had skin cancer on the same side and I am waiting for a mole that I have been referred for too. Also recovering from ACL surgery. The wait and the things going around my head AuADHD thanks for reading
Hello. The wait is terrible. I totally understand how you feel. I’m sure your two boys keep you in the moment as do mine but if you’re feeling ok physically then try to stay busy. Do nice things for yourself and talk to as many people as you can.
There’s not much of a solution to the waiting anxiety but the results day will come! Fingers crossed for you x
Hi Maidstone
I am sorry you are going through this, waiting really is the hardest time. You might want to join our main Breast cancer forum as it’s a lot busier than this one, and you are sure to get a lot of support from others going through similar experiences. If there is someone who can go to the appointment with you on the 13th, I would recommend you do so. It can be overwhelming and that can make it difficult to remember to ask questions you may want to ask.
