i discovered a lump in my right breast a few weeks ago, went to see docs n got referred than had a mammogram…on the mammogram saw the lump but on my left breast, they noticed some calcification…had an ultrasound guided core biopsies yday…k the one with the lump breast hurts like hell today…
but the wait is such a killer, though being told by everyone not to worry so on so forth…but its so difficult trying not to worry, i am 34 with 2 little kids…
its difficult cause u dont know what u dealing with…well hope get results soon so can hopefully get some sleep at night…
good luck to all those who are in the same boat…huggs xoxo
Welcome to the forums, I’m sure other users will be along to support you soon.
In the meantime you may find it useful to contact our free helpline on 0808 800 6000, opening hours are Monday to Friday 9.00 – 5.00 and Saturday 9.00 – 2.00
not knowing is actually worse than knowing, hopefully you will be fine. I know for me that waiting on the results was a nightmare, but im getting there and start radiotherapy next month and very positive about my future ahead.
i can totally empathise with you malaikha the waiting is the hardest part of all this. Did the clinic give you any idea when your results would be ready? I had my biopsy on a thursday back in april and was told my results would be discussed the following monday at MDT, but in the end had to contact the clinic several times as it seems someone ‘forgot’ to book me in for the results clinic…if i hadn’t begged and blubbed to some poor admin girl on the phones it would have been at least another week before they got round to booking me in even though they had told me they had the results at the start of the week. So i advise you to get on the phone to them at the earliest opportunity.
I hope you have good news. Best of luck. Fingers crossed for you.

thank you so much guyz…feeling a bit positive today…i hope to hear from them soon, we rang the surgeon yesterday and she said she would call us back within the next few days to make an appointment to go and see her.
@pixielox that is so horrible of them, yes if i dont hear anything i will make sure to ring them…thanks so much guyz…fingers xcrossed i’d hopefully celebrate either way…
thanks for ur support dont feel that alone anymore
I am still waiting for results…the doctor did ring me finally to say we are to meet on saturday to discuss the results but trying to go on normally n concentrate on work with this on my mind is proving to be soooo seriously hard work…
thinking of you - this is the most horrible time for you. Ring the clinic again on monday first thing - dont leave it to them to contact you, keep harrassing them and stay strong.
best of luck

i got my results this morning, unfortunately the test was positive the lump and the calcification, not much makes sense at the moment but apart from that i need surgery, i dont think it has spread to lymph nodes but the surgeon was saying something about removing them…
they said that i would need 8 chemo sessions followed by radiotheraphy…
at this moment it feels like a bad dream.keep pinching myself awake…the surgeon said that it is curable hence they will be aggressive with it…
I’m so sorry to hear your news Malaikah.It all does seem so unreal when you first find out.I didn’t believe until after surgery.
My thought are with you… More {{{hugs))) from me. Ness
So sorry about your results, your at a horrible place right now. I felt better when I knew what my options were going to be and when I had my op, more in control. I hope you are getting support at home but there are people here who know how you feel and what you’re going through and who will support you when you feel alone.
sorry to hear your news, you sound like a really strong lady tho and i wish you the best of luck with your treatment. I’m 1/2 way through 8 cycles of chemo then will go onto rads and hormone therapy. Chemo sounds terrible, but for me its not been to bad at all *touch wood*. My advise is to take each treatment one step at time, try not to worry too much about whatever is coming next…easier said than done i know!
Take care

My thoughts are with you all and I’m hoping to reassure you that treatment is so “do able”.
I was diagnosed last September and since then have had WLE & SNB - ha how quickly we get used to the jargon! Had to have two further excisions to get clear margins. Had 4 Epi and 4 CMF, then 4 weeks rads, now on Tamoxifen and Herceptin - and here’s the good news - I have been great all the way through treatment!
I have looked healthy all the way through, probably due to the weight gain with steroids! (which by the way I stopped as I had no nausea). If I had not lost my hair then no one would have known that I was on treatment.
I’m hoping to reassure all of you facing chemo that I was absolutely fine - I just carried on with my life (albeit on sick leave) and I am really hoping that you will all be as lucky as me and able to do the same.
The forums are great for information - but I found it best to just look at what was relevent to my treatment and take each step of treatment at a time.
Well, good luck to you all, stay positive and beat the b*****d!!
By the way I couldn’t get to grips with the wigs and wore Buffs all the way through - then when my “downy” hair came through ditched them, and found that people looked at me less with “stubble” than they did with my headgear!
thanks guyz…though this is crazy but i have decided to rename BC…as of today i am calling it “Boob-flu” just feel thats sounds funny…less scary…but u guyz are right i am going to take each step as it comes…
thanks for all ur support…cyber hugs
a thought kind of crossed my mind yday every year i run the tesco race for life…i always ran it cause felt like i was doing something useful but i wanna beat this B***** so i can run next year but its going to have such a deepful meaning to it…well thats my goal now LOL
have they given you idea when your op will be yet…?
