Needing support

Hi everyone, I'm currently undergoing tests for breast cancer after an ultrasound for an unrelated issue, revealed several bunches of sebaceous cysts and one has shadowing. I'm booked in for a mammogram on Tuesday and have been told I will need a biopsy after. The waiting has been so hard, worrying about what the results will be. My husband isn't coping very well and has even cried about it (he never cries even when his grandmothers and uncle died) I think I might get him to join this site for help too. It's just been a rough 2 weeks.

  • That's wonderful news! As Adean says, it's time to breath again and love your family. I'm so pleased for you. Love Janey xoxo
  • Great great news , now go love your family and enjoy your life I'm so glad for you. Adean
  • I just wish every woman gets my results, it's benign. But they did find thickening on the sides of both breasts that has the possibility of becoming cancer. Have been told to keep doing checks to keep an eye on it. Thank you everyone for your support you have all made a big difference and this site has given me so much more insight. I have already recommend this site to other women I know who suffer from breast cancer. Thank you all very much again.
  • It feels like the stress is starting to take its toll. Been feeling lethargic all the time and crying alot, I hope finding out for sure either way is going to make this better because then ill know for sure either way and things can move on from there. Before yesterday I hadn't been able to feel any lumps but yesterday after getting stabbing pain with an itchy feeling I found the lump they are worried about.
  • Thank you for the support, only 2 more sleeps till the mammagrame is over with. My mum and grandmother have been very supportive as well. My family and friends have been so wonderful too. I've only told close family and friends until I know for sure what's going on. I do volunteer work with kids and I know that news of what I'm going through will be hard on them as well so I haven't told them yet. I am not sure if I will take time off from the work I do to give my body a break so I can heal. I also do photography and again I've decided to take time off from that as well.
  • Oh you poor thing. I remember this awful time well. You have come to the right place though. I have found that, since joining in May, all the Pink Ladies here have been wonderfully supportive and many times kept me sane. Waiting is such hell and your love for each other is all important right now. Adean is right, until the results are in, you just need to be there for each other and yes, the CD for partners helped my husband very much. I think it's natural for you and your husband to cry especially at this stage. I cried after the biopsy was done, I think I kinda new even then. I really don't want to welcome you as I'm keeping everything crossed that you don't have to begin this journey so I am sending you as much positive thoughts as I can. Good luck my dear and keep us posted. Love Janey xxx
  • Welcome is not what you really need to hear but your here, because of a common bond that we all have ,waiting for the tests is agonising worst thing out , but till you know exactly what you have there is not much else but to love and be there for each other until you get your results. If it is bc ensure you get your my journey kit it has an amazing cd for men. Will keep the fingers crossed for you regards adean. Let us know what happens
