Waiting for biopsy result

Hi Beansbit,

I'm in exactly the same situation.  I had my tests and biopsy 2 weeks ago, and I have an appointment for my results on Thursday.

I'm terrified too, and can't seem to think about anything else.  The waiting is the worst, its like wading through treacle. I keep telling myself that the whole point of having a mammogram is to catch anything suspicious early, try and stay positive.

You're not on your own, I've had some lovely support here, and it really helps. So, try and keep busy and hang in there, just try and get through one day at a time.

Much love, Joyce x

Thanks so much Joyce, i hope you get good news on Thursday, i just feel constantly sick, i keep telling myself that it’s probably nothing or if it’s something it will be very early and treatable to I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you. Xx I’ve been told if they want to see me I’ll get a phone call otherwise I’ll relieve a letter  

Thank you, and you're so very welcome lovely, we're all in this together!

I know exactly how you feel, I've struggled to eat, can't sleep and I'm scared to leave the house just in case I bump into someone and they casually ask how I am and I burst into tears.

You're absolutely right, its most likely nothing, but worst case scenario, its been caught early and will be treatable!!

Try and do something nice for yourself and take care, Joyce x

You too lovely, I’ll be sending positive energy out for you tomorrow. I’ll try to distract myself and stay away from Google! Xx

Sorry, not tomorrow, Thursday!! X

Thank you, and please, please, please no Dr Google!!!!!!

Hiya

Sorry to hear you've joined the waiting for results and worried sick club. During my waiting time I didn't just have butterflies in my stomach, it felt like an angry wasps nest was in there! Couldn't sleep, didn't want to eat and crying all the time. 

I promise you, you will feel better once you know what you are dealing with, if anything. 

I've now had results and have a treatment plan, I immediately felt a weight had been lifted and felt so much calmer even though it wasn't the all clear I hoped for. 

Don't know if it will help you, but I got some comfort and a bit of distraction from writing down my feelings and what I was thinking were worst and best case scenarios and what was worrying me most. Write anything, I swore a lot. It doesn't matter,  it's just for you. 

Hope you're not kept waiting too long, it feels like torture but you'll get there and in the meantime use the forum to share your thoughts. There's a lot of support on here.

Thanks Sue, its awful isn’t it, I’m trying to convince myself I’m ok! I hope your treatment plan is OK for you, how are you?

i might try writing things down, i do enjoy writing so that’sa good suggestion.

 They told me that my lymph nodes looked normal which is positive i think and that the area is just 7mm so I’m hoping if it’s anything it will be easily treated?

 Good luck with your treatment xx

Treatment plan is a lumpectomy and lymph node testing on 23 Feb. I'm OK at the moment thank you but will probably be a wreck again by the weekend. Wish I could fast forward the next couple of weeks.

I tried to write a couple of poems about my feelings, they were jyst rubbish really but just trying to think about words that rhyme takes your mind off the worrying if only for a short time. I'm not a person who swears generally but the stuff ive written is very sweary!  Whatever gets you through the night! I take my notebook to bed with me so I can write the stuff that fills my head. It seems to help me get back to sleep. 

It sounds positive what they have told you so far. Really hope you have good news when you hear back.

Good luck with your surgery, hopefully that’s all you’ll need and this time in a few weeks you’ll be getting back to normal. ️

 yes I’m hoping what they have told me is positive, they put a marker in following the biopsy and said that the biopsy appeared to take it all out but think surgery will still be needed if biopsy results not good. 
enjoy your poem writing, it’s a lovely idea. X
