Hi There Hi Gizmo
I am 33 and mum of two as you will see from my profile.
I have been using the site for the last 2 wks since finding a lump in my right breast and have my appointment on Tuesday. The waiting is torture and my mind has been all over the place.
Sorry I can’t help re: waiting time for results but I only hope a week is not the norm. I was hoping to know next week sometime if all is ok or not.
I have posted a few times on this thread ‘Have I got BC’ and you will see various replies that may help you.
The ladies that use this site are wonderful and I don’t know how I would have got through the last 2 wks without them. It seems strange that emailing strangers can be so supportive but remember you are emailing women that have felt like you do- no matter what the outcome.
Initially I was a little anxious about posting on the site as many of the ladies that reply have BC but rest assured this is not the case as your feelings are valid and personal.
I wish you all the best and am keeping my fingers crossed for your results on Tuesday.
I will think of you when I am at the clinic.
Keep me posted

Hi,
I found a lump back in March, did the whole aorrying thing too, as everyone does. the results came back that it wasn’t cancer. This site got me through the ordeal, thanks to all the great women out there. It’s easy to say, but try not to panic… Good luck. let s know how it goes. x
Are the results always right?! Hi,
this site got me through my ordeal back in March when I found a lump and was waiting for the biopsy result.
The news was good, aparently just a fibroid. 6 happy weeks on I know feel like I have pain in the area of the lump. Funnily enough, when I think about it! Maybe this is my paranoi. has anyone felt that they need another biopsy. they did it with an ultra sound, so I’m sure they got the lump, but are these tests 100% sure, and anyway, does breat cancer ‘hurt’ or is my mind playing tricks.
I hope everyone who got me through my hard time is well and keeping strong! My thoughts are often with everyone…
Hi Newbie,
Like you I had to wait a week after my core biopsy and apparently this is the norm. It is bloody torture I have to admit and I think that all biopsy clinics should have a lab attached where the samples can be immediately processed and assessed.
I have a small stage 1 tumour and am ever optimistic as all have said I could have had this for a while as the histology has revealed a very slow growing type of carcinoma. I’ve been through the whole panic/death/funerals - EVERYTHING - as all of us have or we would’nt be human, but I’ll be buggered if this is going to depress me and make me ill. Don’t be planning your demise just yet as lots of people I know have had results returned which have revealed benign conditions.
Here’s hoping your outcome is good
its nearly here Thanks for the support ,this time tommorow will know either way took myself shopping today and bought 2 new bras ,told my daughter this and she said “hope you kept the receipt” its black humour but its so nice someone feels able to smile with me instead of shying away from the issue.Will let you all know the outcome
Back home with fairly good news the biopsy was ok but the lump needs to come out to be checked fully before I can totally say Im clear.Thanks folk this forum is a help as other people dont want to discuss bc but here we can say what we feel without boring everone
bio-op results hi ginger2 & gizmo & all
Just to let you know i have been as paranoid as you. waited 9 weeks for breast clinic app, then the terrible 10 days for bi-op results (i wasa benign tumour- fibroadenoma) as someone else mentioned your mind runs away i had choose my funeral songs (goodbye my lover james blunt- cannot listen to it now without crying ANYWAY!!).
Even when i was told not cancer i didn’t jump for joy as i had totally convinced myself it was and it must have took 3 days to sink in and i was still very emotional - counting my blessing and looked a life in a totally different way.
My breast had a dull ache as opposed to pain but as a nurse pointed out on my pre-op the bi-op had left brusing and could of clipped a nerve and could ache for up to 6 weeks, so that felt bettter.
5 days after bi-op results had phone call to come for pre-op as lump removal was the following week quick or what so i had the lump removed today as mine was 35mm (13 days after results)
.
Surgery
Last thing to eat at 6am, in hosp 10.00 i was the last to go in surgery 3.00pm back on ward 5.00pm home 8.30pm all done and dusted. Get full results in a couple of week of removed lump surgeon said he was 99.9 % certain it was fully benign.
It now is a bit sore my lump is above the nipple , cannot wear a bra, but they said there are disolving stitches in, but havent needed any pain killers yet, may do tomorrow. Just have to make sure the kids don’t bounce all over me. (i am 38)
Hope this puts your mind at ease

Hi Dannygirl
Thanks for your reply to my post earlier. I thought i would reply here as you are online.
As all of you I think paranoia is normal, I know, and as many of you would have read on my recent posts that I felt I had lost it at times and without you guys I may have!!
I am glad you got on well today with your op. They did not waste any time and talk about in an out quickly.
Not sure about me yet will wait for the ultrasound but does sound positive as they weren’t in any rush and when I got home I just checked it out with the clinic and apparently this is routine to be called back a few weeks later- fingers crossed still
Take Care
Let me know how you are all doing.
I will post sonn
