Hi don’t know what to write,other than my head all over the place,last few wks have gone by in a blurr,from being in docs about a lump, to having mammogram an ultrasound few weeks back,that showed not only have I got a lump but also a suspicious mass in my left breast ,to now tomorrow I’m having a core guided biopsy,bit apprehensive say the least,my health is not good best times, as I’ve had a bone disease for 11 yrs that taken most my joints an left me crippled with pain,now I’m dealing this an it is constant playing on my mind more than my disease ever as,to where not sleeping,hence thought try a forum for any advice,and how long after such test do you wait for results ,trying to get Christmas spirit but just can’t ?..any advice much appreciate .thank you ally x

Im not long back from having the most horrendous core biopsy,def not what i expected,over 10x’s she stuck needle in me an took samples from me,as ive got a lump an quite large mass. :-(at one point the bleeding was terrible, an the aching,left me very tender to say the least an bruised,but she was really lovely who did do my biopsies, I’ve just gotta get through the waiting now,thank you ally x
