Waiting for breast biopsy results - hand hold

81 replies

I had a breast lump checked yesterday that was fine but whilst there they found another lump that I hadn't felt (and I'm fastidious at checking often) on the ultrasound. He said it looked low risk but that sometimes they surprised him and took three biopsies and added a titanium marker. I get my results next Friday. He thinks fibroadenoma (I've had two of these already so far) but couldn't confirm that. It all felt very serious, which I know it needs to be.

I still don't think I can find where it is but can't rummage as it's all so sore.

I am a massive worrier at the best of times and the next six days are going to be very long. I veer from thinking it will probably be ok to shit, it might not be.

Anyone else waiting?

Aw thanks. I was supposed to reply earlier in the week and haven't been on here.

All went well on Monday, I've been quite stiff and sore on my shoulder since, but doing ok. Slowly getting moving and my sil sent me a little heart shaped pillow for under my arm.
The wound is healing well and I go on Tuesday for the results. The waiting again 🤦🏼‍♀️

When are you back? Is it this week?
How are you doing post surgery?
I hope you are coping with the waiting ok.

I expect I'll be getting my surgery date very soon. Eek

@Four4me good to hear from you, I have been thinking about you!
You are getting your results back quick, that's awesome, I am having to wait 4 weeks for mine... Still over a week to go! It's driving me mad but to be honest I'm trying to just have fun and keep busy in the meantime - went back to work a week after the op and took DD into London yesterday.
I'm doing OK post op, the seroma I think is draining, and I had a random stitch that was poking through removed, but other than that it's just a bit tender but nothing really to bother about.
I wish you the best of luck with everything x

You sound like you are coping as well as expected. Keeping busy stops the gremlins popping up in my head.

I spent last weekend when I was isolating sorting the childrens clothes out and gathering for the schools Ukraine collection.

I've got a few coffee and lunch dates scheduled and getting out for some walks.
I normally run a lot, so missing that.

I'm thinking of you too and sending a hug and fist pump 🙏🏻👊🏼 especially whilst you are waiting xxx

How are you doing?
My lymph was clear, just recovering from the surgery. Awaiting a mastectomy date.
Thinking of you x
