Nothing you can do but just go thru it. The worst things are usually in our minds... so put nothing but happy/positive thoughts in your head right now. You shouldn't be nervous ---it's "the girls" that should be getting ready to be the stars of the show!!!
You know we are all here for you - and of course your family - so we'll all do our best to get you thru this. I wish I could give you a big hug - stay positive, stay strong, just go thru the process... you can do it!!!
Glad it's over! Now take care of yourself and do something that makes you feel good, like a nice restaurant, good book with tea, whatever.
When I would wait (I have done this many times) I never worried about it. I figured whatever it was is sitting in a lab somewhere and it's their problem right now, not mine
Like a volleyball game, the ball is now in their court. They'll pitch it back to you one way or the other so no need to think about it til it arrives. Your mammogram will have a BIRADS score on it, showing how likely they think the thing is cancer.
PS, in all my biopsies we never did find cancer, so it can work out that way. Hope same for you!!!!
Apparently, the wait is usually about one week; however, the radiation surgeon told me that my x-rays/core samples are getting priority treatment as the general surgeon starts his vacation next Friday and told me to call him next Wednesday if I haven't heard from the hospital.
Beacon, I followed your advice We had a great restaurant lunch- yummy. Due to the fact that the breast pain was so minimal, I enjoyed every bite.
Were all your biopsies related to your breasts?
I'm usually a worrier, but with this, I'm quite calm; in fact, last evening I wasn't convinced that I should bother to go through with this. I have many other health issues which already affect my quality of life negatively, I was considering just leaving the lump there. I told DH what I had in mind and he said that he thought the family would miss me???!!! WOW! You think so??? He neglected to say that HE would miss me and that he wasn't ready to give me up yet. Hmmmmm.
