S0 sorry to see you join our select little group @brookemaree ..... we'll do our best to help you thru the early bumpy stages ..... I hope you have good family support - and make sure you take a trusted family member or friend WITH YOU to your appointments, as a 2nd set of ears, as it is easy to 'miss stuff' on the day. Consider recording it too, on your phone - I did.
You can use the 'search' tool for many BC terms ..... searching for Papilloma came up with this (there were no results for 'ductal papilloma):
https://onlinenetwork.bcna.org.au/search?domain=all_content&query=papilloma&sort=-dateInserted&scope=site&source=communityThe girls have given great advice above ... yes, it definitely needs the biopsy & surgery to rectify and great that they are doing lots of tests - and fingers crossed, no cancer is identified xx.
Yep, the waiting really sucks!! In between now and your procedure, try & keep busy doing stuff you LOVE doing!! Cos this disease really mucks with your BRAIN even more than your body! Keeping physically busy can help reduce the anxiety xx. If you DO feel scared, sad or anxious - give our help line a bell on Monday-Fri on 18000 500 258 xx
Take lots of deep breaths .... absolutely stay away from Dr Google - every case is unique & Google will just scare you (AND give you the wrong info!)
take care
