Anyone got biopsies/surgery next week.

Hi PF

Glad to hear appt went well and all is healing. That shower will feel amazing - and will be good for morale. I hope the results get back for next week - as you have waited enough. Weather in U.K. Is rubbish so enjoy your sun. Will catch up later in the week - pls take it easy.

Hi Bordacity

I think we all try to manage processes that enable us to cope - if that makes sense?

Some processes are in our control - in which case grab it. Keeping active, setting little tasks:achievements to get to results day. Even setting my plan about getting to my appt - was in my control.

Some things are out of our control - like the result, and we can’t do anything to change that. That’s how I coped. Will be thinking of you tomorrow. Most of us here have been in your position and we know exactly how you are feeling.

I think everyone has said it all so just to say will be thinking of you tmw Bordacity. Let us know how you get on whether it’s good or bad news. Hope you get some sleep.
Best wishes,

Thank you so much will be sure to update everyone later it’s been a long week x

Hi Ang14,
Glad you made it through and you are home.
I’m still recovering from my surgery compounded by other health issues, I think it takes time. Mine is my left side which makes life a little less complicated for me than if it was my right side.
Take it easy. I guess we will get our results around the same time give or take week.
Big hug.

Been for my results today I have breast cancer it’s a real shock bug I know I am definitely not alone x

I am having chemo first as it’s quite a large mass just came up over night literally then a mastectomy tough times ahead x

Hi Bordacity, I’m really sorry to hear that. It will take a while to sink in. Lots of support here as you know.
Sending you a massive hug.

Hi Bordercity

Thinking of you - time to draw breath and absorb what is going on. Loads of ladies here will be with you all the way.

Hi Bordacity
So sorry to hear your news. And not much more I can add to what everyone else has said. But just reading various posts on these forums has helped and to know you are not alone. And everyone is so supportive.
Sometimes I am still in shock and can’t believe it I’m going through this.
You will be stronger than you think xx

Hi. Yes I do!! Thanks for remembering! I was very calm last night but a bit nervous this am.

Will update later. Thanks for thinking of me. Everyone here is getting me through this and I’m prepared.

Hi all, Had to wait around 90 minutes at hospital this morning which was torture but good pathology results for me!! High risk lesion 9cm*4cm was removed. All benign.
Follow up mammogram in July. Then if OK yearly then if OK back into the screening programme. Surgeon said it will take 1 year for boob to settle completely in to its new size and shape so no point in contemplating any form of corrective/symmetry surgery for a year+. Just hope it doesn’t shrink any further than it already has done this past week! I’m very relieved and glad to no longer have this “thing” hanging over my head, although I’m not really sure that it’s completely sunk in yet… . I feel lucky to have come out of this with just one boob smaller than the other.
So glad the waiting is finally over… But will start again after the mammogram in July! He said results won’t be till sept/Oct cos of holiday month August!!! Never blo#dy ending waiting!!

Hi PF

That’s great news - and basically we are both on the same journey - waiting for the next Mammo. I am still getting used to my lopsidedness and the scar tissue!!! Went to a v nice but expensive bra fitter who has made me feel so much more positive and feminine again!

You look after yourself

OK. Thanks for that, I’ve made a note of it. I think I’m going to be limited in what I can achieve here in the back end of Spain but can sort it out on my next uk visit this year, plus we will be probably be moving to England in time for my youngest to go to college in September.

Funny isn’t it, I was thinking about the squishing too with a smaller tender boob, I wasn’t big in the first place.
OK, well, onwards and upwards.
Stay in touch if you like.
Take care.

OK. Will do
