Hi folks, I’m new here, been lurking for a couple of days. I had a recall appointment this week at the breast screening clinic after a routine mammogram. They carried out further mammogram and ultrasound and said there is an area of concern of approximately 9mm. A biopsy was carried out and a marker placed, I’m awaiting appointment now for results and next stage. I was given various leaflets and also information on The Small Study as the Dr said I would likely be asked if I would like to participate. Has anyone had any experience of this?
I’m also anxious if my result is positive as I suffer from heart failure too and concerned that will be an added complication with any meds. I know I’ve not had the results yet but I always like to be prepared.
Many thanks for reading!
Hi white lilac,
The wait is a worry. But take one step at a time and if positive there are various treatment options available now. Not sure what the study is about I wasn't given any information on that.
I have had my lumpectomy and removal of sentinels. Now have an anxious wait till the 20th to see if in lymph nodes.
This forum is quite good for ingo and support. Also others at various stages in treatment who can support xx
Thanks MissMolly… it seems a great supportive community here!
Not sure if allowed to post links but this is more info about the study.
you’re absolutely right, the waiting is an anxious time. X
Hi White Lilac
Welcome to the forum and I am sorry to hear that it looks like you have been diagnosed with breast cancer but they won’t know for sure until the results of your biopsy. I am also sorry to hear that you suffer from heart failure. When deciding what meds to give you your medical team will factor in the heart failure.
Wishing you the best of luck with whatever comes next for you.
Best wishes
