I Feel Like Throwing Up

Beina

This wait is the WORST!

I had a screening mammogram a few weeks ago. Got a call back the next day saying that I need to get another mammogram because my breasts were dense and they thought they may have seen something.

Had the second mammogram on 03/07/17. They read the results and I had a ultrasound done right after. Radiologist then came in and said I had cysts and one of them was complex and he wanted to schedule a biopsy. He gave me the stats and I still felt hopeful. But after I left, I cried cause I was overflowing with anxiety. Scheduled the biopsy for the next day. During the biopsy the doctor said I also had a solid mass. I'm not sure why that wasn't seen or told to me the day before and she biopsied in two places. She definitely said one was a cyst. Hope dropped a lot.

While I was typing this a report came in (to my email) and I literally started shaking. It's just my biopsy report and not the results.

The second mass she found was described as irregular hypoechoic.

I'm going through all of the emotions. I'm scheduled to move abroad in July. It's been my life dream to live in other countries. Waiting for the phone call that will determine what happens.

Wishing everyone the best.

I am in a similar position. i just accepted the job offer of a lifetime...and was trying to get my appointments in all before I started the job in April. My 3D mammogramscreening showed some abnormalities so I'm scheduled for more tests on This Monday. It's so hard to not know what's going on with your body.

Beina and honeybee08, welcome and very sorry to hear about your situations. The good news is that you are not having to wait to get testing. On the subject of dense breasts there is a good Ted talks that covers molecular breast imaging. Mammograms are not always effective for dense breasts. Insist on an MRI.

It took me a month from mammogram to biopsy to get a diagnosis. The waiting is hell. I found this forum later. I hope discovering this site will help alleviate in some part your anxiety. It has been very therapeutic for me to at least learn what to expect. It's early and things may go your way. Please hang in there.

Sorry to hear you are going through this! I know I have been in the same situation of waiting. I finally had my biopsy done yesterday and will get results back Tuesday or Wednesday. I had my mammogram and ultrasound done feb 13, and got a call the next day saying I have a high chance of it being cancer. So I had to wait a month really to find anything out..

Waiting is the worst! We all sincerely understand how you are feeling. Hang in there

So I just got the call. I don't have breast cancer. I cried so hard that my son (teenager) said, "I don't get it. Did you WANT cancer?" It was relief. Wishing good news for everyone.

I am glad it isn't cancer, sorry you had to be tortured into thinking it could have been.
