Waiting for results of Core biopsy
Waiting for results of Core biopsy I had my first mammogram 2 weeks ago aged just 50 years and was recalled after a few working days.
I visited the Linda McCartney centre in Liverpool and was fairly overwhelmed. I had an ultrasound which didn’t show the results that the mammogram had shown. I then had a Core biopsy under mammogram and I have to wait until Monday 19/03/07 for the results.
In all it has been 2 weeks of waiting to finally find out what was seen on the initial routine mammogram. I’m feeling rarely positive and often negative about the results.

Hi Noocook
Sorry to hear that you have had to have a core biopsy. It’s a horrid time waiting isn’t it, time seems to drag so slowly and it’s hard to stay positive all the time. I think all of us on here have times when we struggle to stay positive.
I was diagnosed with br ca last year when I was 41 and have just come to the end of my main treatment. I had my Mastectomy 8 weeks ago and I am feeling quite down at the moment. I think I spent all my time being very positive and not allowing any negativity to enter into my life through diagnosis, chemo and then my surgery that it has now just hit me that I DID HAVE cancer! I have to say it is hard and I know I need to pick myself up, but just can’t seem to at the moment.
So you are not alone in how you are feeling. It’s no good saying don’t worry because that will not stop you, just take each day at a time, the 19th will be here soon.
Good luck with your results.

The waiting is the worst. Hi Noocook,
The waiting is the worst and the not knowing one way or he other.
I felt like you initially but after talking on here resigned myself to the fact that I needed to make the most of my time and for better or worse worrying in the meantime, would only make me miserable and wasn’t going make me any wiser to my outcome.
Stay positive, concenrate on your loved ones and keep busy. Surround yourself with happy friends. A big box of choccies does the world of good! although I won’t be held responsible for it’s effect on your hips!!
I may sound superficial, but with the help of all the brave and strong ladies on this site, I have just come through my first week of waiting and have an almost positive outcome. Just one more biopsi under ultrasound to go. so I’ll be getting the gel bag out again on Monday.
Spoil yourself! Try and laugh hysterically or otherwise. It relieves the stress.

Dear noocock Hi there
Everyone on this website knows what you are going through and yes I have found the waiting quite hard but after having a lump excision yesterday am now home and feeling bright. I now have another 2 week wait for the results to see if I have invasive breast cancer but am keeping very positive.
I have found great support on this website as well as family and friends pulling for me. I am sure you will find the same over the coming weeks and you will take strength from this.
We are all with you.

Thanks Thank you for your offering of kind words and support I will let you know how it goes on Monday.
