The waiting for results is torture. I found 1 lump and then found another lump in other breast. First lump was cysts (again) 2nd lump is cancer. Only very small at 9mm. Mri revealed I have lots of cysts in both breasts. My breasts were described as snowflakes. So another appointment with radiologist next week so he can have another look. Soooo another wait. Find out on 29th what the plan is. I'm hoping nothing more sinister is hiding. I've convinced myself that I'm losing both boobs. I'm sounding negative which isn't really like me. I'm just scared. Lots of emotions right now.
The waiting is for sure the worst. I tried hard to focus on things I could control, so eating, drinking, exercise and try to distract myself from the things I could not control, by working and keeping busy. But it's hard…..good luck
When you go for your mammogram you will probably have an ultrasound. If they find anything they may do a biopsy as well and then you will see the breast care specialist. That seems the norm at most hospitals with breast care units xx
I keep busy too with work, my partner is home today so that will be better,
thank you
I had mamagram, ultrasound and biopsy all in 1 day, then had to wait for results , then appointment for mir, now need another ultrasound. they have been fast but not fast enough lol xx
