Head is spinning

Hello Pammy, there is just so much to take in at first. Most of us didn't know a lot about breast cancer until we were diagnosed then it becomes information overload.  Keep a notebook handy and jot down all the questions you think of between appointments.  It's so easy to forget to ask something and remember, no question is stupid!  It is very surreal at the moment and 4 months on, I still do a double take when I think that I had cancer!  You will feel more in control once you have a clearer diagnosis and treatment plan.  I do feel for you having to go through the waiting of 2 biopsies and hope you get a good outcome.   And remember, you are not alone - we are all here for you  Please let us know once your biopsy results come through.  Take care, Jane x

Hi @Pammy46, I just wanted to welcome you to the online network. The members here are just wonderful and will be able to support you with any questions you may have, so ask away. If there is anything I can assist you with please just ask ~Ann-Marie

Welcome to the site yes the waiting is hard. Sometimes things change along the way as they do more tests. Start writing a list of questions for when you go back as when you get in it all becomes so emotional and so much information. Visit often lots of ladies at different stages 

Thank you the waiting is the hardest being told you have cancer is hard enough to take thinking you have the one low grade tumour after biopsy then to be told something else looks suspicious lady at the radiology place said it could be another cancer in there or a satellite of the original 
which changes the dynamics of treatment I feel most days like it's not even real it's not me 

Because of my dense breasts I had a breast MRI to check all the  breast and the other. My lump wasn't  visible on mammogram 5 weeks prior feeling it. The waiting is the  worst. The final  tumor grade etc will be done after removal  where they recheck it all. Hope all goes well and you have answers soon. Ask about anything you are worried about and hopefully we can help.

Hi Pammy, Sorry that you've joined our forum but Welcome. I'm sure that you have already realised that the waiting is the absolute worst. It's twice as bad for you as you have already been through waiting for biopsy results already. Once you have the full picture and a plan in place re surgery things will start to settle down a bit and give you something positive to focus on. Until then it is incredibly nerve wracking. Try and be gentle on yourself as it is such an emotional strain. If you feel the need to have a good cry or scream due to fear or frustration go ahead, we all understand. And if you have any questions please feel free to ask as everyone here on the network understand the uncertainty that you are currently facing. Let us know how you get on with your results. All the best. Xx Cath
