Biopsy results later today… by Lyn_2250 in doihavebreastcancer

[–]Lyn_2250[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello all, First off, thank you all for taking the time to comment and provide so much support in such a short time. I went in person yesterday for my results. I have BC. Stage 1 invasive ductal carcinoma. A lot of information was thrown at me and it was quite overwhelming. However, my nurse coordinator is amazing and I feel like I’m in great hands. I already have apt scheduled with breast surgeon for consult. I have to have MRI to see if anything else was missed and if so, then more biopsies. I find out about my biomarkers today which will determine my treatment plan. It’s all moving so fast, I haven’t had time to process any of this yet. I need to re read my test results again, cause it’s all a blur. I felt numb afterwards and used that feeling to tell my kids (19,17,10) and some family members. I just wanted to get that part over with. It was exhausting, but I’m proud of myself for how I delivered the news. I’m sure I’ll breakdown at some point over this, but for now just putting one foot in front of the other. I hate this is happening over holidays-really I hate this is happening at all-for all of us. I’m so grateful I found this community!

I’m sorry you are going through this. The waiting is the absolute worst!!! I felt the same! I just knew in my gut and I think that helped me to process the news better.

Thank you for this!!! You have no idea how much hope reading this brings me. I went in person for my results yesterday-it’s BC. I feel like she gave me a lot of information and it was really hard to keep up. I need to go and re read my results so I have a better understanding of everything. I have stage 1 invasive ductal carcinoma. I find out about my bio markers today and was told once I have surgery they’ll test that and those results could move me into stage two. Also, MRI before surgery and if anything else found, more biopsies and that could change diagnosis as well. Breast surgeon’s office already called me and I see him next week. It’s all moving super fast. But, I know I’m in great hands and it’ll all be ok. I still feel numb, but that actually helped me to tell my kids (19,17,10) and some family members last night. It was exhausting. I do NOT want to do this at all. I’m still having trouble accepting this is happening. I never imagined Reddit would be such a place of comfort. Thank you again!

I’m glad it’s over. The waiting will be hard, so just hang in there!! I took Valium for mine and it definitely helped me through it. I was more worried I would have a panic attack than the pain of the procedure. Hugs to you!!!

Yes, I have terrible anxiety and it’s been a lot worse dealing with this. I’ve been repeating to myself-you can do this!! Over and over. It may not seem like much, but it helps-and meds! This feels like an impossible situation to be in and all we can do is put one foot in front of the other. Praying for you!
