Recent Biopsy

Hi Twigy

The meeting referred to I think will be what they call a MDT meeting or Multidisciplinary Team meeting where Breast Surgeon, Oncologist, Breast Cancer Nurses, Pathologist, Psychologist, Physiotherapist etc all meet up to discuss the best treatment they can think of for you, so they all have an input at that meeting. I had a similar reaction to the mastectomy solution as you have. Normally there are Breast Cancer Nurses to speak to to discuss this with and I'm guessing you will get this in 2 weeks time. What you have in all probability is diseased tissue which needs to be removed somehow. I'm sure you will be informed in much more detail in 2 weeks time. Don't forget that you can telephone free of charge people who run this website for reassurance. I found my Breast Surgeon blunt and very honest on what she had to do, that is how some of these professionals can be I'm afraid. It was never good news but this is treatable. I've come through a lot and come out the other side as living proof that you can deal with these matters successfully, awful though they undoubtedly are. We are all here to support you. It is natural I think for them to ask how old your children are as they are an important part of your family.

Thank you so much for your reply. 

Hi, i had similar conversation last week in my 1st clinic appt, asked how old my children are and they asked for my next of kin.  Have results fo my core biopsy tomorrow.  I am petrified.  They told me my lump is about size of 50p and suspicious. Omg I even went home and measured a 50p. Longest week of my life this week x

It’s awful the wait. Worst was what they weren’t saying but seemed to know…..I have to wait until the 4th October for my results.  I so hope it’s positive news for you. Can you keep in touch and let me know how you are? It’s so lonely and scary

I have only told my husband and manager and when I saw my manager today first time since I was told suspicious lump, we just both burst into tears.  I dread telling my boys and mum.and dad. This forum has kept be going this week, everyone has been so supportive. 

Yes I will keep in touch.

Take care x

The wait is the worst . They were brutally blunt with me on my first appointment basically told me this is cancer .   On top of that I was accidentally sent a copy of letter that went to my GP which reported on the ultrasound and mammogram as malignant M5 , whatever that means .  I have my full results tomorrow after the MDT meeting .  From what I have seen it is common practice for them to be this honest .   However the way I look at it now is they could still be wrong and think what a lovely feeling it will be when they say , we made a mistake it’s benign.    If you are prepared for the worst then anything else is a positive . Try not to worry the first few days are the worst I was very upset after the biopsy  , I was told I needed to be seen in a week , but it’s been 2 .  Just want it over now . Hope all goes well  Xxx

Hi Twigy sorry to hear you have this anxious wait for your results but if it helps we all know how you are feeling right now.  Just wanted to say that I think everyone is probably asked for next of kin details (it was on a form I had to fill out).  Can’t remember whether I was asked daughter’s age but that may well be another standard question and not just personal to you and Mel.
Got to say this is probably the worst time right now waiting for diagnosis but when you get your results, if it is bc and I really hope it isn’t, you should also get a treatment plan telling you how they propose to beat this and get you well again.  
Wishing you all the very best xx
