Waiting for results of Core Biopsy

Hi i am new to this forum and i am worried about my forthcoming results. I had a core biopsy done last Thurs and i get my results on Thurs of this week the 14th Nov, to say i am scared is an understaement. I am trying to keep up the brave face but every day it just gets harder :frowning:

Hi Molly I’m new too. I’m also awaiting core biopsy results taken on Monday. The clinic was fully booked for this week for me to have my consult and results back so they are sending me my appointment through the post - not sure if that’s making it easier or harder to wait as I’m not even sure when I’m waiting for! I wish you all the best for Thursday. Perhaps we can help keep each other sane until our results. My nearly 3 month old is helping to distract me, as well as continually elbowing my bruise!! In tying hard too not to let my mind run away with me and keep calm but its easier said than done :slight_smile: x

Hi Both
The waiting around is the horrible part of all this…I took the advice of all the lovely ladies on here and tried my hardest to keep myself busy and distracted until I got my results on the 25th Oct… I found it difficult as I work from home as a foster carer… if I worked outside of the home I might have managed better… but the ladies on here kept me sane :slight_smile: thinking of you both xx

Hi Sandra thanks for your comment. The waiting is awful and I’m very aware of not wanting to ‘go on about it’ to my partner despite how patient he is. I feel a little like I’m making a mountain out of a mole hill at times and then I read other threads on bcc and I feel a little better that perhaps my fretting is ‘normal’! I’m most worried about how I’d care for my daughter if I needed any treatment but I know it’s a one step at a time game really and there’s no use imagining every scenario. Between my gp and the 2 docs at the breast clinic I saw, each said the lump could be something different from fibroidaneoma (spelt wrong) to benign tumour to odd looking cyst by the time of the biopsies. I have no idea when I will get my results either and I think that’s the most frustrating part at the moment. It would’ve great to hear how others are doing and how you’re doing now sandara. I hope your results were positive. Hoping to try and sleep a little now, char x
