Feeling a bit selfish today! After getting my great results I found out a good friend has breast cancer for a second time..she had her yearly mammo about the same time as i had my second biopsy!! Such mixed emotions..i feel so guilty. On top of that my ex has a new g/f. I feel like i should be grateful for small mercies and relieved at such a trivial annoyance.
Just such a conflicting time!! Wanted to share

Hi,so happy you got good results.x
Today I finally got biopsy results ...benign fibrodeama...thankfully also been discharged. So relieved but will always keep those not so fortunate in my thoughts xxx
Hi, Mel
It does feel that we spend our time waiting for appointments/results/procedures. It's so hard, especially when all we want is to get this thing out of us and kill everything it left behind.
A week can seem like a lifetime, but you're almost there.
Praying you get good results on Monday.
Hugs
Cath
Just want to say I feel seriously fed up today. Went for stereotactic biopsy on monday and hopefully will get the results next monday..however the waiting AGAIN is seriously annoying. Just want to go home and get under my quilt...just saying
Hi, Mel
Wishing you luck for Monday. Try and relax and enjoy your weekend.
Hugs

Hi Sorry only just had my biopsy appt which is for monday 7 July. Fingers crossed this is the end of my journey. I have to have a stereotactic biopsy (under mammogram) and the results should only take a few days (fingers crossed)
Hope your well cath..be thinking of you for tuesday

Hi Cath. Well consultant quite happy that all is well with me but as the dense tissue is not showing on ultrasound only mammo I have to have 1 final biopsy under mammo. I'm quite happy to have this as it will 100% conclude things. But I'm looking good. Hope all goes well with your treatment I'll be thinking of you xxx
Hi, mellep44
Do you have a date for your final biopsy? Will keep my fingers crossed that it comes back clear. I know waiting can be hard, but shout out if you ever want to chat.
Hugs

Thanks Cath. how are you doing i feel i should ask as we are all on here for similar reasons i guess you have your own struggles x
Hi, mellep44
I've had my oncology visit yesterday and am due to start chemo on 8th July. I'm a bit nervous, but mostly just want to hurry up and get the treatment. (Might not be so eager afterwards. LOL)
How did it go with your consultant yesterday, any word?
Hugs
Cath
That's great news, mellep44. Delighted for you.
Hope all goes well with your consultant tomorrow. Please let us know how you get on.

Hi mellep44!

I'm about to attend my 3rd appt at the breast clinic after initally having a mammography and ultrasound which discovered 2 cysts and skin thickening which the consultant says in a letter sent back to my doc is benign. However I have a tiny 3mmx3mm patch on my areola that hasnt cleared up or gotten any worse so i have been back and had a biopsy on. The results of which i will get tomorrow.
The consultant assured me that he thinks it is nothing and probably just hormonal however I am very anxious about going tomorrow. My appt is late afternoon which doesnt help. Not sure how I am going to get there cos at the moment I feel like just not going (i will I just wish i didnt have to).
I dont think the consultant would put in a letter back to the doc that it is benign skin thickening and 2 cysts if he wasnt quite sure. I had to have a core biopsy of which he said in any situation where there is a 00000000.1% chance of abnormality this is the only sure way.
Just very anxious and wanted to write it down thanks
Hi, mellep44
I know what you mean about not wanting to go to your appointment. I wanted to jump under the covers and pull them over my head and never come out. Waiting is horrible and scary, but you're almost there.
Take heart from the fact that you're not alone. We've all been through it and we're here if you need to talk.
Wishing you the very best for tomorrow. Please let us know how you get on.
Hug
Cathy
