The biopsy itself went good I guess. They took 5 samples. I am feeling a little sore still.

I am expecting to see the result in my online chart before the appointment on Friday. The waiting sucks. The not knowing sucks. This whole process sucks. Had pity me moment this morning on my way into work, kept thinking why me! Then that turned into the possibility that it could not be cancer. I could get lucky. But then I remembered the birads category 5 rating that I received and remembered the 95% chance it's cancer. Sigh. The waiting is terrible.

Just having a pity party kind of day.

    Lucyred, the waiting is horrible! I honestly felt much better once I had a diagnosis and a plan in place. I think once a week I think, "Why Me?" but then I focus on living my life to the fullest and saying, "I will beat this". Hoping you get results soon so you know what is next. This is a great community to share and learn as well. Hugs.

    Lucy,

    Have a pity party every now and then is ok. It's very normal.

    Just don't get stuck there. With a BIRAD5 you know the odds are against you. So make an agreement with yourself. A pity party every now and then is ok, but for the most part, try to focus that energy to doing what you are going to have to do to fight.

    IE, it's not easy, but choose to have the upper hand when it comes to your attitude. :)

    It is hard. We know that. And no one will minimize that. Just don't get stuck there.
