Diagnosed but still waiting

Hi, my name is Carole and I’m 58. My biopsy results confirmed breast cancer on 9 March 2cm with calcifications. However on further tests they found 2 further small areas of calcifications for which they did a lot of biopsies. I should have seen consultant on 24 March but path results delayed so now waiting for appointment on Wednesday 29th March. I feel like I’ve waited forever for a full diagnosis and action plan. I just want to get moving on this and get the cancer out!
I’ve had a lot of various problems and hospital procedures over the last 4 years and wish I could just get on with living. Sorry rant over.

Carole you feel free to rant away your entitled , what a shame you have had to wait so long I hope after you see consultant everything starts to fall into place for you xx

Thank you. The waiting. Is awful.

Yeah it is, I east seen at breast clicic got mammogram scan and biopsy done then back the following week for results got lumpectomy the following week and started chemo in April then rt and finished in October so I didnt really wait that long I’m in Scotland and got op at paisley then chemo and rt at the beatson xx

hi Carole
Welcome to the forum although obviously you’d rather not be here & sorry to hear that you’ve had a run of it over the past few years.
It does feel a lot better when your treatment plan is in place & the 29th will soon be here
Do come & here & vent whenever you need to. There are loads of us who are at the similar stage to you or who are further down the road.

I had to wait 2 weeks for first biopsy results and then they found other areas and having 3 weeks wait for this lot.
I just need to get on with it and have a plan.

Thank you Ann. I’ll no doubt have more to say after my appointment on Wednesday

Thank you Sarah and good luck with yours

Hi Carole I’m similar to you too. Told 3 weeks ago I have breast cancer - back tomorrow for MRI then next week ultrasound and maybe more biopsies which means another weeks wait! I feel as you do- I just want this started! I’m 41 and have 3 young children and my eldest 3 just want to know when we will be finished- I can’t even tell them when it’s starting!!! Every twinge I get anywhere I am imagining I have it there too!Wishing you the best. Sarah xx

Eldest 2 not 3.

I’m with you there. Every stomach ache and pain is cause for concern.

And every time I turn on the tv radio etc I see a new cancer to worry about it seems! I’m going slowly mad! Xx

That does sound a long wait Meri.Think I may be similar to you though. Can’t see anything happening for me until after Easter. I worry what may be found too. Wow- a cure! I’ll take all the help I can get!!! Xxx

I’m starting to get very nervous now. Big appointment tomorrow x

I’m with you on this one ladies… also awaiting mri and im onvinced everything they’ve told me so far is going to completely change and it’s going to be a far worse outcome! My legs have been aching so much lately and I spoke to bcn today and actually told her I think I have bone cancer now. (Google helped me to diagnose myself of course) She said because of all the worry stress and how fast my minds working constantly it has been likened to running a marathon therefore I will feel all these aches and pains constantly

Never google it x

I try not too but can’t help it. Good luck for today carole x

Thanks Melia. I get stomach upset for every appointment x
