Hi

Hi Annie66

Welcome to the forum and I am sorry to hear that you might have breast cancer. While the consultant radiologist said it was suspicious they won't really know until the results come back from your biopsies.

Wishing you the best of luck with your appointment on Thursday.  Let us know how you got on.

Best wishes

I will , thank you , I thought they would have said we’ll know when biopsy’s back but we’re more or less telling me but without saying or are they just trying to prepare you , I am very straightforward n would rather just know , the wait and worry is just the worst ! 

they will say if it is suspicious, the surgeon confirmed w me, but mine was big lump. best toprepare and be relieved i woukd say, crossing fingers for you. sorry you are here hugs

Yeah mine is quite big lump too 

Hi Annie66 , am obviously hoping for your sake that it turns out to be benign but it does sound like they were preparing you for the likelihood that it’s not. In my case, I was referred by GP after finding a thickened area. At the clinic I saw a doctor before any tests and she said straight away that it felt suspicious. I then had mammogram, ultrasound and biopsies. The radiologist didn’t say anything but I saw the doctor again and she said she was pretty sure it was cancer, from the images.  She said she thought it was early stage and that I would likely have lumpectomy and radiotherapy, but that would all be discussed more fully after the biopsy results came in. At that appointment her prediction was confirmed and I was booked in for surgery. After the op came an oncologist appointment and as it was oestrogen positive I started on hormone blockers (I was 59, definitely post menopausal so was given Anastrozole) and was referred for radiotherapy. 
Will be thinking of you on Thursday, keep posting and let us know how it goes. If it’s benign we will be celebrating with you, and if it’s cancer you will get lots of support and friendship here. Love and hugs, HFxx

Thank you so much for your reply , yes I think you are right , it’s such a surreal situation I keep having to remind myself , I am prepared for it and be better once I know x 

Hi all it is Grade 2 stage 1 ductal invasive he something negative which is apparently good ! Good prognosis, so waiting to see consultant n pre op n lumpectomy then radiotherapy, I am glad it’s early n grateful for that but still have times of disbelief n emotions but feel I almost don’t have the right as so many worse off than me , I am a strong person n everyone is like oh they hit it early that’s ok then n I don’t want to be dramatic but almost want to say yes I know but I still have cancer and that is in itself difficult to come terms with , I am scared still n have had to come off my hrt n waiting for menopause symptoms to come back n anxious bout all thst too x 

Hi Annie66  Stage 3 1 lymph node here... maybe that should be my new name.... I have tried to reevaluate everything around me and have come to the conclusion that Cancer is just the new norm.... before it was heart attacks (they thrive in my family - I am the first cancer); diabetes, .... you name it and they seemed to have these under control now for most, and maybe Cancer is just the new norm.... they are developing things daily.  I have Thyroid problems too - which run through my female line - so had to ask the questions re connection etc..... I have seen off the dreaded menopause now being 69.  Yes I keep being told I am a strong person, but you and I know underneath that is not what we are screaming, its a front.  But yes there are so many far worse off as I  have discovered only in the last few weeks....its like hunger, there are others that are starving.   All the best - stay strong!  (Sorry!)

hi i assume her 2 negative,so it means chemo is a maybe not, with Her 2 poitive chemo is usually first step to shrink lump, then surgery. been here awhile it feels, and met lots of different people 

so glad you have the information and a plan now hugs, best thoughts for surgery

Yeah they have said probably not chemo , it’s all so daunting isn’t it , come off hrt and anxious how I am going to react , I am single my marriage ended 3 years ago after 18 years and was very traumatic feel like get my life back on track now this , have fabulous children and friends so lots support but in the middle of the night , nobody there and I feel that n was dating but don’t feel can do that now !
