Two weeks ago I was un-aware of any breast lumps. I have always examined myself.
I am 57 and because of moving home ,seem to have slipped through the net for Mammogram.
Doctor,s referral has resulted in core biopsy and cells taken from an axillary lymph node.
I get my results on Tuesday,
Can any of you girls ,help me to deal with this?, not feeling at all positive.
This is my first posting, I think this forume is a wonderful way of supporting each other.
My heart goes out to you all. being able to talk is comforting .
Thankyou Rosamund
I,m waiting for my biopsy results on Tuesday too, I know how you feel, it feels like an eternity !!!
This forum has been a godsend to me as reading about everyones hopes and fears makes you feel less alone.
I,ll be keeping my fingers crossed for you and hope you feel more positive soon.
big hugs to everyone xxxxx
Hiya Rosamund
I have a large lump in my breast and just had a biopsy 4 hours ago. Will get my results next Friday! Its very weird especially as the Doctor who did the biopsy and ultra sound said she thought it was malignant and when I went to see the specialist afterwards he said that it might not be and I hve to wait and see (its like waiting for Santa to come!).
Felt pretty chilled until about 20 mins ago when I have just cried buckets (think its the shock!) Feel better after that though and realise that I have to stay really positive if I am going to get through this. Its just so frustrating not knowing for definate and having no control.
I’m just repeating this prayer over and over again;
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
The courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference
It is helping me from getting the poor me’s.
I am determined to live everyday as its my last!
Keep your chin up

Hi guys,
I just wanted to say what a lovely poem - very appropriate, I may need to ‘borrow’ that. I am waiting for my results from the lumpectomy and lymph nodes that I had removed last Tues. The waiting seems to be the worst part. I sometimes let my imagination run riot - although I am trying not to.
Rosamund - please try to stay strong - we all here - good luck,
Tracy xx

Hello you lovely girls,
Bad news for me, I have Invasive bc Grade C5 also in lymph.
I can’t find the words to describe how I feel, having to tell my children, family and friends.
Tomorrow I am having a full body and bone scans, results of these will decide on treatment.
Consultant says full Mastectomy and Lymph clearance if scans clear.
I just hope I can be brave and fight this horror.
Thanks for the prayers and support, I will be needing more for a while.
Thanks Cee you are a star, sorry Nicola and others who had bad news also.
good luck to all who are still waiting for results, you are all in my prayers.
Keep in touch it helps love Rosamund.
