Waiting for biopsy

Sep745

Can you post the report?

Agree with blah333's assessment.

I assume the biopsy will be positive from the reports. They will bx the dominant mass and perhaps one of the satellites and maybe one of the lymph nodes. These can all be done under US, with results usually within a week in most places.

After that our routine was an MRI to see if there are other satellites and/or additional nodes, and to evaluate the other breast for occult disease. This will be followed by a surgical consult and perhaps an appointment with an oncologist depending upon your doctor's routine. Keep us in the loop.

I had mammogram, got call back , had 3 d images then ultrasound,  now core biopsy on march 7 2019. Waiting is awful and the unknown.

did you get a Bi-rads count in your report? I went and picked mine up today. Now I am really worried.

Thanks for your reply, My nerves are so crazy right now. Being as old as I am you would think I'd handle this better. But this what if is killing me. 

I am, aside from some swelling and a swollen/reactive node that has caused me stress. But I had one of the most "easy" routes here compared to what most women on these boards endure. The worst thing about the whole ordeal is just the mental aspect and knowing things can come back, even if you just had DCIS. My recent biopsy/waiting has me feeling sympathy and concern for everyone else currently waiting for results or in that limbo state of not knowing. It's seems easier to know bad news than have the uncertainty.

Beep7bop,

I had routine mammogram and was called back. Had Ultrasound and color Doppler. They found an irregular hypoechoic mass as well as a subtle irregular hypoechoic mass. Bi-Rad 4C high suspicion for malignancy.

They did a spring loaded core needle biopsy on both places, taking about 8 samples. I had not mentally prepared myself for how many times in and out would occur with the biopsy. However, I'm the biopsy was super easy, I could go in for another today and not give it a second thought. I worked myself up that it would be awful and hurt and it was so easy and didn't hurt. I didn't want to be there but it was fine. I'm a classic over thinker and I worried way too much about the pain of the biopsy.

Everything was benign, both masses. My nurse navigator said 4Cs come back benign often. She said Fibroadenomas mimic cancer and it is difficult to tell. Please don't assume the worst although I know that is hard.

While waiting, I made myself sick with worry. Physically throwing up and sick. Not sleeping and weeping. I imagine that's normal but after I saw the 4C I just lost all hope. Try not to if you can. Call the breast center and speak with the nurse navigator. It really helped me.

I also downloaded the calm app (blue cursive) and that helped. I prayed every 30 seconds in my head. Keeping my mind on God helped. I didn't have the strength or mental/emotional capacity to say meaning prayers so I just prayed for the Holy Spirit to pray for me. That's all I could muster. I'm so sorry you are going through this. I want to give you hope that even 4C can be benign. My nurse navigator said doctors have different reasons for labeling 4C and she told me to stay off google about it. Please see if you can speak to nurse navigator.

 Thanks, for being here. 

Have you gotten your report? Read your post and Hoping and praying it all comes out good for you.

thanks, I will let you know.

so sorry for your dx. I am sure you are dealing with a lot. Was so hoping it would be B9 for you. I haven't gotten my biopsy report yet but see the doctor on Tuesday. Biopsy was march 7.
