scared to go for my results
scared to go for my results Hi
I,m due to get my biospy results in the morning, as it gets nearer the more I am thinking I can.t go I am feeling scared and sick, putting on a brave face for my husband, who has already started going to pieces, I haven,t slept for three nights, I have watched my younger sister (47) go through a masectomy and chemo over the last few months, and don.t know if I can be as strong as her, does anyone else feel the same as me.

I remember only too well the night before I got my results I too had not slept for several nights and I seemed to be living on my nerves. I lost 7 lbs in a week and I am only a size 10, I went down to a size 8 but in the end it is better to know what you are facing and then you can deal with it. I hope your results are clear but if they aren’t then there will always be someone on this site to help. You are already being strong if you are keeping a brave face for your husband I never managed to and he seemed to constantly be mopping up my tears. Take care of yourself I will be thinking of you tomorrow.
Love

Heather of course you are terrified its totally normal and ok. There is not one person who would say they would not feel similar in the same position.You talk of your sisters bravery well lm sure that has come along amid fear and tears. I dont know what your fate tomorrow is but if it is found to be a form of breast cancer then you will be distressed and scared but will also find the courage to fight this bloody disease .hope you will be ok will be thinking of you.
hugs and love sharon x
Hi Heather, I really hope you have got your results now and it’s good news, I know exactly how you feel as does everyone else here who’s been through the agonising wait for results. I never imagined it would be so hard, sending you lots of hope and positivity for today.
Good luck Heather Let us know how it goes. The worry is dreadful. I was a mess outside waiting for the doctor to come and get me. Wishing you all the best
Good luck Hi Heather
I hope by now that you have good news?

got my results Hi Beverley,
and all who sent me messages, got my results this morning, bad news is I have cancer, good news it has been found early, have to have op on 12th April, but first have to have bone scan and stomach scan, to see if it has spread, more waiting, but at least I,m on my way, funny thing is I can,t cry, my sister has been told by her husband (she has just finished chemo, for aggressive cancer, just come off the phone to her, we were comparing symtoms and actually laughing about it, hope my atitude to this horrible thing continues, but not going to pretend to my self suspect when I,m on my own, I will cry a waterfall, the Breast nurse is coming to see me on Tuesday, she seems great and easy to talk to, my husband is being fantastic, but I can see the worry in his eyes, my main worry at this minute is my daughter who is only 20, spoke to the consultant, he told me she will not be offered a mamagram until she is at least 30, and by then he feels breast cancer will be a thing of the past, lets hope so, anyway thank you all for your messages of support, I,m sure I will be here again in the near future, and if anyone wants to contact me please do so.
Hi Heather
So sorry results were not good but as you say at least they have caught it early. It 's good that your sister is going to be a great support for you. I too worried that my daughter might be affected as there are problems on my husbands side of the family and she is going to see the clinic to see how much monitoring they should do. She’s 25. I’m sure your daughter, like mine, will also be a wonderful support. Mine moved heaven and earth to be with me during the many appointments I had.
Take care of yourself and be kind to yourself.
Love
Beverley
Hi Heather
I’m so sorry to hear your news but it’s good that it’s been caught early and you are well on your way to starting your treatment. I’m sure your sister will be able to support you through this as well as your husband and daughter. I really wish you all the best for your op, look after yourself.
sorry your news was not as good as you hoped but they have got it early which is really good.Dont worry too much about the scans-some hospital do these on diagnosis as routine.You might also get a bone scan.When l was diagnosed at 45 l was worried about my two daughters-aged then 18 and 20 and was told they should start annual scans 10 yrs before my age at diagnosis-however l was first in family.laughter and tears will get you thru this as well as the love of your family.Dont try to be brave just take it day by day.sending love sharon x
ps see from your profile you are from wales-what part-l am in bridgend and services here are very good.
thanks for support Hi Taffy
where else would you be from with a nickname of Taffy, I live just outside Ammanford, about 15 miles from Swansea, I will be treated at Prince Phillip hospital in LLanelli, so far I cannot fault the service I have received, only had my first mamagram last week, had a recall letter on saturday, more tests on tuesday and because of my sisters history had my results today, scans are being arranged before I go in for op and op will be on 12th April thats what I call a service
thanks for your support have you had the all clear or are you still having treatment

I was diagnosed in 2004 and had chemo and mastectomy,had 2nd boob done in 2005-that was personal choice as was terrified of it spreadind.now on tamoxifen. Its changed me a bit-feel lifes for living but have no urge to bungee jump or climb everest! Its a great excuse to eat as much choccie as possible! Its a rollercoastr ride but you will come thru honestly.
