Waiting on breast biopsy results
I went for my first mammogram 3 weeks ago and received the dreaded call back letter for more tests. My appointment was on Monday for the recall and was probably one of the worst mornings of my life .First, I was called in for another mammogram, and then 30 minutes later, I got called in for another one . Then a while after the second mammogram, I was called by the doctor and told I have 1 area that look suspicious of cancer and another area they are not sure about . All on my right breast . My life just flashed in front of my eyes thinking about my boys and my husband and telling my mum and sister. Then she advised me that I needed an ultrasound that would hopefully give me more answers. She said they are better at confirming a definite cancer. So she brought another consultant in to perform the ultrasound. By this point, I had tears streaming down my face. But this doctor went to get another doctor so now I've got 3 doctors in the room. The 3rd doctor looked at the first area and said it was a cluster of cysts, then the second area, and said another cyst. But then said there is a small shadow 10mm in size so tiny that she's not 100% about . But did say that it could be hormonal and that she wasn't as worried as when I first walked in. So, I had to have that bit biopsied and cysts drained . Oh, and they also put a titanium thing in so they know for future reference . So after all that, I had to have another mammogram to make sure the titanium was in place okay . Then, I was told to go to speak to the breast care nurse. But 5 minutes later, I was called in again for a 4th mammogram . Then, the breast care nurse came to speak with me about taking care of my biopsied site . She said that since doing the last 2 mammograms, it's now a very low suspicious, so she is hoping the outcome of the biopsy is a good outcome. I'm not sure what they saw on the last 2 mammograms after the ultrasound that made them say now its low suspicious. My friend says maybe since draining the cysts and taking the biopsy the area looked smaller or a change of some sort .
.
I have an appointment a week on Wednesday for my results. I am hoping it turns out to be good news of course. But I'm not sure I can cope with the worry for that long. My nerves are absolutely shot to pieces . My friends and family keep telling me they wouldn't be allowed to say they thought it was now a low suspicious area if they weren't sure . But of course they can't be sure 100% . The thought of walking into that appointment next week is sending me over the edge .
