Unsure where to start

Welcome and how to use the forum Introduce yourself

I am not new to the forum but new to posting.

Last year I was diagnosed with DCIS of the left breast and underwent WLE, re-excision and five days radiotherapy.

Recently had my one year mammogram only to receive a call back due to changes in my right breast. After further tests including ultrasound they found a number of small cysts (4/5) and a ‘shadow’ none of which were present last year. I have had a number of biopsies taken the shadow and now waiting for the results.

I cannot express my gratitude to the staff, their care and vigilance but feel like I am back to square one waiting and shocked things can change so quickly.

Hey @p2025

So sorry to hear you’re back waiting for results. I’m undergoing chemo for my original issue but have had three further breast lumps investigated since starting treatment and that fear was strong with each one. Luckily two of those were cysts and were aspirated immediately but the other one was solid so was biopsied. Thankfully the results came back benign.

I really hope this turns out to be nothing for you but I know the waiting is rough so sending you a virtual handhold in the meantime. x

Big virtual hug.

Hopefully the shadow isn’t anything sinister and you’re back to normal soon. Let us know how you get on x

A virtual hug from here too. The fear/wait are so consuming. Fingers crossed that this turns out to be nothing sinister as has already been said.

Bless you. Thinking about it, I reckon waiting for results has been much harder and scarier than chemo has ever been so far!

Thank you for your well wishes. x

No real update however I am expecting/hoping for a benign result as I was allocated a telephone appointment rather than a face to face one. Unfortunately it is on one of the dates I had informed them that I was not available due to my son’s wedding.

I am sure I will be able to discuss the results with someone at a later date.

Thank you again for all your support.

Had a vacuum assisted biopsy this afternoon. Back to waiting for the results and decision/next steps from MDT.
