waiting game - 3 days to go

Hi I am 35 years old and have found large lump after losing over 2 stone on weightwatchers, ref to breast clinic resulted in attempted aspiration, mammogram, ultrasound then core biopsy. Dr I saw commented in all the years of doing her job not seen a lump like mine! It’s like lots of marbles stuck together and almost the size of a ping pong ball. She was very honest and said 50/50 chances as she so puzzled even after looking at my removed tissue threads.

I’m trying to be positive as she has obviously seen a lot of cancerous tissue and lumps via mammogram, ultrasound and tissue biopsy so this is good news that it’s all so strange to her, but of course my positivity is fading the closer I get to Thursday.

Just wondering if anyone else has had unusual lumps and the outcomes. Thank you for any replies xXx

hi waiting it the hardest part i hated it seem to go on forever that part is almost over for you now , i had a unsual shaped cyst but i knew the out come the same day as i had a fnb and that came back as cancer then had to wait for the core biopsy which they had to do 2 times to find out the full dx im now on to my 2nd lot of chemo , thats me dont mean it will be you since my dx my sister and my daughter have both gone for test and both just had cysts nothing more you will worrie we all did none of it is nice but i do wish you all the best and hope you get a good result
all the best keep us upto date not matter wot

Hi there

Waiting too, my results on Thursday also. Mine is a thickening (I guess) thought it was normal until my other boob deflated since having my son (small boobs anyway).

All the best for Thursday X

Good luck to both of you ladies :slight_smile:

Brief resume original diagnosis 9 years ago had it all x chemo radio Tampa arimidex and also made huge decision to have ovaries out at ripe old age of 38
Thought I had got away with it
New tumour right elbow very painful and swollen also lymphoedema in same arm had u/ s and MRI told tumour most likely recurrence
Core biopsy last week told results tomorrow BCN called me today , results not ready have to wait another week . The waiting is hell , I had planned to tell family friends etc and was ready for the bad news , a day feels like a week , I feel cancer is growing and I am just sitting waiting
I plan to phone consultant and ask if I can be given results as soon as poss over the phone - told “this is not usual” I
am I being unreasonable to expect this information S soon as they have it ?

Please excuse spelling x Tampa is tamoxifen
Left hand typos !

Tammy, I really sympathise. I swear there were scratch marks on the ceiling with me climbing the walls with worry, and I had the same thing that I was told I was getting results and then got let down and had to wait another week. Keep pressing for them, call your BCN every day to ask if they’re in yet, a bit of persistence and pressure may at least get you a telephone consultation.

Very best of luck to you, it’s so horrible waiting, particularly when you fear the worst.

I’ve had to wait nearly 3 weeks for CT scan results since scan was day after last out-patients for chemo - so I tried to get nurse to give me results over the phone and she said they don’t like to do this as doctor likes to discuss them fully - I understand this… - but pressed and told the results were “mixed” so now wishing I’d not asked as am wondering what that really means and still have another week to wait. Trying to keep busy for that long when you need to rest too is not easy. Thinking of those also waiting…

Why are we waiting x chorus !!
been on the phone already x left message for BCN , consultant secretary on holiday x
will keep trying
Tam

me too, waiting for results of brain scan - 3 weeks now and wait til Monday coming. Have told myself its stress/depression/meds cocktail or hormones (or lack of, since had ooph last year and on AIs). I can’t accept it could be mets, so I’m not ringing the hosp. Not normally one for hiding from results but hey ho! Sick of waking up with headaches, tiredness, dizziness, and worry. Tell myself (and everyone) that if it was urgent they would have seen me - hope thats true!!!

OMG you all seem to have such big things going on and I’m a wreck waiting for a maybe result. My hat is off to all of you ladies and I hope everyone has news that doesn’t make things worse. I’m so sick of hearing ‘I’m sure it’ll be fine - 9 out of 10 etc etc’ I feel really callous saying this but I want facts - let’s see if it’s what I want to hear eh! If it is BC then I’ll deal with it and I have to say I really feel inspired by some of the postings I have read on here in all topic areas. I will take positive vibes with me and send some to all of you also playing this horrible waiting game. Good luck everyone - I’ll post again when I know. But feel ridiculous saying this when so many of you are already fighting the battle I’m hoping to avoid.

SPS, whatever you’re waiting for, The Waiting Room is really the worst place to be, so don’t feel silly about being worried. We’ve all been there, we all know just what agony it is.

Very best of luck for your results appointment and please come back and tell us the good news. Everything crossed for you.
