Waiting for my biopsy results

The results are in and not exactly what I was expecting. Life does like to throw a curve ball now and then. Looks like I have 2 little beggars! Results for one has come back HER2 negative so just waiting for the second one. Need a MRI scan to see if they are connected before they decide on treatment plan. Is it normal to feel relieved with a positive result???????? 

Hi  and a warm welcome to this not so exclusive club! Glad you have some results and yes I know what you mean re feeling relief even if it’s confirmation that it’s cancer. I think the relief for me was that, although it obviously wasn’t the best result, it was far from the worst. And somehow the known is easier to deal with than the unknown. Keep posting, as you get more information about your particular beasts, there will always be someone here with a similar story. 

Gentle hugs, HFxx

I absolutely agree that it's the fact that it was not the worse case scenario and totally treatable. I found it harder to tell my nearest and dearest (which I'm only half way through). I now know the possible options and whichever it turns out to be I can absolutely deal with. Thank you for your kind words xxxx

Sorry you didn’t get all clear today but as you know it’s not a death sentence just a blip in life’s journey!   Remember it’s not your job to make others feel better about your diagnosis which we often end up trying to do.  

Thank you xx

I've had a day to mull over my diagnosis and try and recollect the meeting I had with the surgeon. When he told me I had two lumps my shocked response was "well I'm just greedy" in which he promptly responded "no your just very unlucky". I've been thinking about that and actually I'm very Lucky. Both small lumps are hidden under two large cysts. I've grown used to discomfort even in my armpits. I would have continued being completely oblivious and blamed everything on the start of menopause and continuing monthly cycles. That mammogram I was routinely called to attend (which I initially forgot about and was rebooked for me) would not have happened. If I had been sent a reminder to book an appointment myself I wouldn't have bothered. 

I'm Absolutely NOT unlucky if anything I feel like I've been sent  life line that I didn't even know I needed

 you are clearly one of life’s glass half full people  

I only ever have half a glass of wine but I do have several

Nimdibs.....you could have written my profile. No lumps or bumps......reluctantly made mammogram appointment because...how blasé....there's nothing there but thank goodness I did. Three small tumours already stage 2 which were removed with a lumpectomy and due to being triple negative followed by both chemo and radiotherapy.  My friends will tell you....I always say I was so lucky the mammogram found them. If I had delayed another year.....

That was four years ago Nimdibs...My four year annual looms on Dec 2nd.

I nag all my friends to make sure they keep their appointments.  

Hope you continue to be 'lucky' and the treatment goes without too many complications but even if it isn't pleasant....you will be on the way to recovery.

Love Karen

Thank you Karen,

Wishing you all the best for your fourth xxxxxxx

My best friend had her 3rd earlier this year and alls good. She living her life to the fullest and like yours her journey was tough. I know that there will be times were I wont feel so lucky but I'm anging onto my good vibes so they can carry me through whatever is thrown my way. Life really is like a box of chocolates
