Hi all,

On Friday I went for mammogram and ultrasound and biopsies. They told me they were pretty certain I have cancer in the right breast. Now I have to wait 2 weeks to get biopsy results and meet up with consultant to discuss next steps and I'm wondering if anyone has any advice/ wise words to manage the wait! I think it's the feeling that it could be a death sentence, or totally treatable or something between  the two that I'm finding hard to manage. Thanks in advance. 

  • Hi Lennierob72

    Welcome to the forum, I'm Daisy53 one of the Community Champions on this forum.  I'm sorry to hear that you are waiting on a breast cancer diagnosis.  Breast cancer is very treatable and they keep coming up with new treatments all the time.  While you are waiting for your results keep yourself busy doing the things you love to do. Don't google breast cancer as the information on google is out of date, rely on sites like this one and Breast Cancer Now for your information.

    I've had Breast Cancer twice and after having treatment I am now cancer free and have been for just over two years now.

    Wishing you the best of luck with your results and with whatever comes next for you.

    Best wishes
