Meow, I'm so sorry you're going through this. Big hugs
-
Hugs. Waitingwith you and fingers and toes are crossed.
-
thanks Italy, I hate the panic feeling of the dreaded phone call.
-
Did they give you a time frame of when they would get back to you or give you an appointment time to get results?So hard to wait and not let every bad thought run through your head. Praying for you here in Oregon.
-
They said by Wednesday of next week. Thank you for your prayers. I never thought cancer would come back in the reconstructed breast.
-
Prayers and supportive thoughts are with you all weekend, Meow. Hoping for a call Monday with excellent news.
-
the waiting is soooo hard my prayers are with u
-
Thank you. I am praying

Meow, (((hugs))) I just went through a similar scare when an US found a 2cm suspicious area on my chest wall, bi rad 4C. My first thought was "I deserve this" b/c I turned down most of the standard tx's, Mx, chemo and AI, but NO ONE 'deserves' this.
My docs, techs, radiologists assume it's just a matter of time before I recur, so they are vigilant when looking for an abnormality. It took me 3 weeks to get in for the bx on a Thursday and less than 24 hours later the surgeon who did the bx called me with the results..B9.
My anxiety levels about me and my BC is really low so I cannot relate to what you are going through but I do keep you in my heart and hope you come out on the other side of this nightmare and except whatever is. I have no regrets for my choices and I hope you embrace yours.

Maureen, thank you for your thoughts. This stuff is so stressful.
-
Meow hopefully you will get answers before Wednesday and there will be a simple explanation of what it is and how to deal with it. My prayers and thoughts continue with you.
-
Fingers and toes crossed for you Meow. Hope you have some happy pills to take the edge off
-
I was feeling so paralysed all day for the call. No call, I guess tomorrow will be a repeat.
The told me Wednesday, I wish I had a fast forward button.
-
Argh, don't they understand how much anxiety is provoked by delayed reports?
Hang in there, I am waiting with you. First thing I do when I get online is check to see if you have an update yet.
-
just got the call at 7pm, all clear. Thank you God. Praying for all my BCO sisters.
-
I'm so glad for you
-
oh man, that is awesome news! So was it fat necrosis? So glad you don't have to wait two more days!
-
Whew! Awesome!
-
thank you everyone. The waiting is a killer.
-
Meow, I am so very happy and relieved for you - and grateful that you got the call tonight.
I hope you can soak some of the stress awayin a long,bubbly bath and then get started catching up on the sleep you've lost these past weeks. Take care.
-
Such wonderful news Meow ! Praise the Lord
-
Very happy for you Meow. I have an appointment tomorrow with my BS for results of 6 monthly check up (MRI this time which I hate having). Had to wait 9 days which I think is cruel. I'm going to insist on an earlier appointment next time.
-
So happy for you meow. Had my bmx yesterday and now waiting for final pathology. The waiting gets to you...
-
gamma, I hope you get best possible results.
