  • I am 65 and I had a biopsy 5 days ago after finding a lump in the L breast. I have an appt in 6 days time to discuss the result after the multi disciplinary team have met. Everyone tells you to try not to think about it but that's not easy is it? Plus, it still hurts! I feel like I just want to hide away but have only told a close friend (and OH who is lovely but also scared like me.) I never noticed how often people say "How are you?"
  • I know I might be lucky and all of you on this site are going through this and worse. A year ago my husband had a radical prostatectomy and I found macmilan forums really helpful. It's hard to be doing this all over again. The waiting is just so hard.
  • I'm also waiting for the results of my biopsy they found a small pea size lump down in the fatty tissue of my breast I had the biopsy done a week ago and I've been to hell and back I'm trying not to worry  my other half has been supportive but he suffers from depression so it's hard on him as well  I hope it's just a cyst I've been googling stuff in relation to what I'm going through but Google scares you to death so no more googling for me

I go between feeling extremely anxious to thinking about worst case scenario. I hope your results are good Cathy. My husband and daughter are trying to be brave and I was quite upset seeing a young girl probably more than 30 years old going through the same procedures as me which made me very sad. Anyway much good luck to you and your family xxx

  • Believe me I know how you feel. I’ve always suffered with anxiety and I went through a major illness 25 years ago so to experience this sort of thing again  is terrible. Keep in touch please?

  • Hi I am due another lymph node biopsy tomorrow, I used this site when I was supporting my mum 3 years ago and 11 years ago for my husband.. I have head my first consult but they needed to do more tests MRI last week and new biopsy this week. I am 60 not sure what my future holds my diagnosis was triple negative invasive ductal carcinoma grade 3 awaiting staging beginning of the month I was 1cm on my left side hoping that hasn't changed at ultrasound tomorrow . I am also guilty of googling but nurses are very knowledgeable on here

    I have been diagnosed with triple negative invasive ductal carcinoma. Has anyone else had same diagnosis.
