Highly suspicious of malignancy

Results today: Aggressive cancer, probably triple negative. I will have a port placed on Thursday or Friday and begin chemo. Hope you got better news! Praying for us all

Bone scan takes about 2 days. Good luck, ladies! You can do it

Nicole1966- I had a bone scan on 6/27, MO hasn't called yet to go over results. I'm not sure if the results are not in yet, or she's on vacation. I should call, but will wait until 7/5...so nothing rains on my parade, so to speak.

The procedure is easy, but it wastes a good part of the day. I had injection at 8 AM, allowed to go home; back by noon, on the table for pictures by 1:13; out by 2:20 or so. I did get to watch a good portion of it while it's happening, tech pulled the viewer down for me to see. Best of luck to you!

I got a call Monday saying my results were benign. I went Tuesday to the surgeon's office where the nurse confirmed this and gave me a copy of the report. She pointed out the important words and did a quick exam of the biopsy site to check healing and we were done! Made my appointment for follow up in 6 months and left very happily relieved. As I read the report in depth later on, I noticed a specific detail in the report about the tissue samples that make me and my husband very concerned as to whether the samples reported on are actually mine. Now we have to wait until Thursday to even ask anyone due to the holiday - going to make us crazy with worry. Hubby confirms my line of thought because he was there at the test and saw the x-ray of the samples on the screen as well as I did, and agrees the discrepancy noted in the report is very concerning. Now, I'm not sure if I really have accurate results or not.

Misha - I am very sorry for the results. We are here for you and you're going to get through this stronger and better than before.

Somany - I hope everything will be ok. Stay strong.

Nicole I concur! I had my port placed today and I’m so tired and pretty sore. I have the PET scan and MRI on Monday. It is a lot and I’m not looking forward to Monday.

All of this sucks and then we have our regular lives that still need to be lived on top of that! I don’t know if you are a religious person, but God must think I can handle way more than I think I can!

Anyway, just wanted to let you know I can relate.

Nicole, Misha, believe me, beginning is the hardest part of this particular journey. Once you settle into the acknowledgment of your new normal, it will become somewhat easier. The thought that you are actually doing something, as opposed to waiting, makes all the difference in the world. Feel free to PM me, if you want to. And don’t read people’s diagnosis on the forums. I only recently stopped doing this, and my outlook to life improved markedly. You will overcome it. It’s not going to be easy, but we have no choice at this point. Enjoy what you have right now. Have a glass of wine or a drink. Alcohol will be out of question once the treatment starts. Go out with your significant other. Take a two day trip somewhere. Try not to think of the future, we all are in God’s (higher power, supreme being, etc) hands. Thinking of it constantly won’t help you at all. Believe me, I am not just saying all these platitudes because that’s what everyone says. Each of them came to me in the same fight you are fighting. Each of them is hard won.

Hi ladies,

Nicole , Misha, looks like I’m just a bit behind on this ( insert colourful expletive ) journey! It’s a roller coaster ride and I keep waiting to wake up from the bad dream! I find that moment just before I fully wake up in the morning to be my favourite time...for a brief nano second everything is fine, then reality hits.

Had mamo, ultrasound, have been rated as birad 5 ....with a 5 cm tumour. MRI was two days ago, and I meet with the “ Breast assessment” people on Wednesday for another ultrasound and possible biopsy.

It’s hard taking this one step at a time. Thankful for So many wonderful ladies and such wisdom on this forum, and this thread .....you ladies have brought me some peace... even if it is just fleeting, but I trust someway, someday it will get easier,

Keep strong Nicole and Misha.... I will work to do the same.

Misha, glad you defined pescatarian ...was about to google it!

Also working on changing diet, cut out sugar, more veggies, ( jucing seems to help he get more veggies .. can’t imagine eating a bunch of raw kale and beets... but jucing actually works for me, ) Also started drinking matcha. Anything to feel some control.

Wish there was someway to get off this stupid booby ride! Since getting mamo I feel every little twinge in my body and think this is eating me alive! Sometimes hard to catch my breath, but the I feel calm.

My boobs hurt on off like I’m about to get my period, but that’s not possible as I had a hysterectomy .

And crazy dreams ...that is once I am able to fall asleep. Last night I dream I had a fountain of milk coming out of my left nipple! Everything seems amplified... like life is in super high definition!

Thanks for letting me vent on this thread. Hugs to all!

Nicole ... praying for you and that your bones are clear!

And thank you for the welcome . This motley crew has already been a great comfort . There is strength in numbers !!!

We got this ladies!!!! We can do it !!!!

I got in touch with the surgeon's office to double check the biopsy report. She explained what accounted for the discrepancy in the final report, and assured me they were in fact my results and there was no mix up. So yes, my result was benign, thankfully. I have a follow up mammo in six months to recheck that it stays that way.

I know it's crazy, but I feel horribly guilty sharing my results... I want to take you all with me, each and every one of you, off this journey, or at least onto the six month exit ramp. I hope it's OK if I check in to see how you are doing.. I will pray for each and every one of you daily - for comfort, for strength, for clarity and for peace.

I will try to take the good out of this experience and not let the fear affect me going forward, though I must say, nothing looks the same as it did before. Thank you for the love and support you've shared with me. You all have a special place in my heart forever, sincerely.

Somanyquestions- Great news! We wish everyone had such good results, but know it's not possible. But we do the happy dance for anyone who gets off this journey. 💃 👍

Well scanning day is done. That was not fun. No results yet...

I’m so happy SoMany!! Please don’t feel bad, we are all genuinely happy for you!!

I have two kids-a 17 year old daughter and a 12 year old son. My hubbie is wonderful and I’m grateful every day for our family. We have some special issues at my house that are making this diagnosis especially difficult. Our son who also has Autism, got sick in January and is now “medically fragile”. He has a trach and is on a ventilator. He uses a wheelchair but is getting stronger week by week. He should get better, but requires a lot of care.

Nobody picks a time to get cancer, but this would have been the last point in my life, when I’m so needed, to get this. Oh and I’m 44.

Okay, off my pity pot now.Prayers for us all and celebrations for the many things for which we all have to be grateful!

I just saw your post Misha....we must have been writing at close to the same time. Happy to hear you have support at home. And very pleased to hear your son is getting stronger.

One day at a time, and if you need a pity party, that’s okay too....I’ll bring the fruit tray!
