Kammie - glad to hear your surgery is over and you are one step closer to getting your results. I pray everything is okay. I've been through breast biopsies before (I think 5 times) and I know how upsetting it can be. Even when things are on the line (maybe it is bad/maybe it's not) they usually turn out to be okay. We are all here with you while you wait.
Did you have an excisional biopsy or a stereotactic one?

Thank you! I had a ultrasound guided core biopsy where they kept “snapping” tissue. Not sure which that is!

I had a breast biopsy today. I was so nervous when the dr came in all about business! She said the nodule they found could go either way (I hated that) and then at another point, I asked her if it was scary, and said, "it's sort of scary." At the end, she said cancer would be third on her list of things it could be, and if it is, it's tiny and would be early-stage. I guess I'll take that with the 3-5 business day wait they gave me! @SB2017 I don't know how you did it!

It wasn’t easy! I was lucky that everyone I encountered saw how anxious I was and everything was almost done overnight, which I was incredibly thankful for! I’ve learned they have to speak in vague terms, and there’s no way to tell from looking at it - which is the reason for the biopsy. We will all be here with you while you wait! When I think back to my entire experience, it still brings up anxiety, even though everything turned out ok

I hope I'm not triggering you! I'm actually very happy this is happening so that if there is anything sinister, I can address it early. I'm just ready to know one way or another but speaking positivity into existence. I went into the patient portal to ask my primary doctor for more Xanax because I'm stressed waiting on a breast biopsy - he's in the same practice as my gyn. He wrote back, "you should be fine." I feel like he shouldn't have written that because he doesn't know. Did he go in and look at my scans? Anyway, I'm not reading into anything until I get the results. I'm just going to pray, stay busy, and try to relax and know whatever happens I can get through it.

Not at all! I’m actually more trigger by the fact that my 6 month follow up is coming up in March and I don’t want to go through it again!
It’s so bad when you start to analyze the techs. They said some scary stuff to me too but looking back now, I guess it was just them having to be vague. I totally know what you’re going through right now. It’s not easy, but it will be over soon! The waiting is the worst!

Kammie - have you heard anything further?

@blueberries thanks for asking!! I’m still waiting. Isn’t that crazy? I’m suffering from tension headaches as a result but Xanax is helping. And praying so hard!

 

[blueberries]

That is crazy, the waiting is terrible. Usually in the medical world no news is good news. I'm praying for you also that this is the case.

Thank you! I was told the labs are really backed up so 3-5 business days when I had the biopsy on Monday. Yesterday was day 4. Maybe Monday (but it’s a federal holiday although drs are working so likely Tuesday).

Praying for you! Don’t worry i know easier said than done trust me

@roadtocalmness not at all! I so appreciate you thinking of me. Nothing yet. I sure hope all this torturous waiting means there’s a positive result waiting! Sure hope I hear something tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest! Ugh.
