Core Biopsy done this am. Ugh.

How did it feel? I have one tomorrow....I hope your biopsy comes back negative!!!

I had mine done Monday on 2 spots - easy peasy.  No pain (just nerves) during and tender now but it is the waiting that is the hard part.  good luck tomorrow!!

I had mine today also, 2 spots plus a lymph node. They put 2 markers in me also. I'm feeling pretty good, no pain, just emotionally exhausted. They told me that I likely would hear anything until Monday. 

I know exactly what you ladies are feeling, it's tough. Here's to hoping that we all get good news. 

A year ago, I was in a place very similar to where you ladies all are. On December 23, 2014 I found a lump on my left breast. I called my doctor the next day but could not get in for a mammogram until January 6, 2015. On January 9th, I found out I had breast cancer.

The waiting was very hard, so I totally get how hard the next few days will be. I'm so glad you all have found BCO now- I didn't find BCO until after I was diagnosed. Let the holidays distract you instead of the biopsy results distracting you. Enjoy your friends and family and know that you can always worry later.

Merry Christmas to everyone! I hope for negative results for all of you!

Hope you all had a good Christmas! What an emotional roller coaster, one minute I'm fine and happy, then next I'm near tears, I just want this weekend to be over so I can have my results. Trying to prepare myself for the worst, but that makes it tough to put on a happy face. So many different thoughts and emotions going through my head. 

My husband & son already knew I was going for a biopsy (2 wks between diagnostic ultrasound & core-needle biopsy, with a marvelous working vacation in New Orleans, PA and a local folk festival in between). But my husband is a cardiologist (I had told him but not my son about the anomaly on the screening mammo), and they both knew not to jump to any conclusions. When I got my results only a day later, I told my son first because my husband had office hours and was working late seeing patients. Son immediately decided to call in sick from his assignment running lights & sound for the standup open mic at his comedy collective, in order to be there for me and allow me to inform him as to what we should expect next. They’ve been great.

Of course, with younger kids it’s a much more delicate situation. Might be worth consulting a psychologist or their pediatrician before you tell them.

MLP, you can always get a copy of the report from your imaging. The Mammo will be given a BIRADS rating/score. I don't know that an immediate biopsy is any indication of anything. I asked my Radiologist what the chances were and he told me 50/50...but I could tell by the pitiful look on his face, that it was more like 90/10. So, when I got "the call", I was not really that surprised. I don't even remember what my BIRADS score was, to be honest. It was all kind of a blur by that time. The waiting is so hard. I waited a week to tell my son because he was on an anniversary honeymoon with his bride the day after I found out. He was actually in my house when I got the call and I ran to my bathroom to take the call. I guess I put on a good front, because he never knew until I told him, when he got back. Remember, most biopsies are benign. I hope you all get B9 results too!

After my mammogram and ultrasound the radiologist said that there were moderately concerning things seen. However, two days later when I found the mammogram and ultrasound summary on my electronic chart I saw the Birads 5 rating, so kinda more than moderately concerning.

hello,

I think it's the holiday season that sucks!!

You re supposed to be enjoying Cheistmas and at the same time, having to deal with all these issues.

I proposely scheduled mine for January but anxiety is catching me up, post reduction mammogram and ultrasound and funny nodes which could be anything under. The sun.

Good luck to everyone. This is a hard time. I find that using guided meditation and breathing exercises works and trying (not easy) to focus on the here and now. But everyone has their own thing

Best
