Hi - I had my first mammogram 3 weeks ago and was called back for a triple test which I had last Thursday. I was told that there was something there and a couple of biopsies taken. I’m now waiting for the results and keep veering from optimism (7 out of 8 are benign!) and panic (what if I’m the 1 out of 8). I was told my results would be discussed a multi disciplinary meeting which naturally leads me to believe it’s more likely I’m in the 1 in 8 category. Trying to keep busy! Can’t talk to my husband who is a born worrier himself. Any advice?
Hello,
I am also waiting for results. I have has a few panicky moments where I’ve felt a weird anxious feeling! My results come on weds 3rd and I have been told there are suspicious cells and there’s something going on with the lymph nodes so I am expecting that it is cancer. I am trying to carry on as normal but talking openly to boyfriend and friends and crying when I need to.
I’ve come to the conclusion that I can’t change it and if it’s cancer I am in good hands and I have to trust my doc. He told me that if its cancer he ‘will sort it’ so I just have to trust in him. Also I am determined that whatever this is, it won’t ruin my plans or takeover my life.
I would say try and stay off Google, trusts the Docs, talk to someone and try be positive. Try find things to focus on that will take your mind off it. Worrying won’t change the result so try not to worry - easier said than done I know 
xx good luck xx
Hi I just read your thread. I was the same. Had a routine mammogram and was recalled. Was advised in the letter that I would get another mammogram, ultrasound and possible biopsy. So I arrive, trying to be as confident and positive as possible. Had mammogram, then went through and the doctor examined me and took an ultrasound. Couldn’t find what was showing up in mammogram. Had to wait 2 hours and they set up the mammogram machine and did a core biopsy while I was in the machine and also put in a marker. Then I had to wait 10 excruiciating days for results. I was up and down like a yoyo. I arrived for results and was taking right into a surgery (I had my daughter with me). Then a doctor came in and told me I was clear. Then it was floods of tears. The weight was taken off me. I must have been one of the 7 out of 8.
So keep positive. I know its so difficult and I dread going for the next screening in 3 years incase. It’s the ‘not knowing’ that’s worst.
All the best. Hope you get the same result as me.
