Signs & Symptoms are scary- Biopsy Wednesday!

Lutfie, hugs to you. You're not fake; you're justifiably frightened because you feel something is wrong, and breast cancer is scary. Every single one of us was in that scary spot, and every friend I've had for whom it turned out to be benign was also in that scary spot until they had answers. You're in the right place coming to this forum, and you're taking the right steps, and I hope so much that it turns out not to be cancer. Hang in there, and if you're up for it, please let us know how things turn out. Wishing you the very, very best.

I agree 💯 with the wonderful women who have responded to your post. Your absolutely not being fake. The waiting is the worst part- anxiety can make your mind go to very dark places, not to mention the experiences you've dealt with regarding your husband. I hope he is doing well. My sister was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer in June 2016 at the age of 39. I will never forget when I got the call. Instantaneously, I knew I was next. I just KNEW it. Immediately my risk had doubled as a result of her diagnosis. I had to see her breast surgeon because now I was considered high risk. I remember her mentioning a thickening- now I had a word for that area I had felt for years. All my prior mammograms had come back fine. But this year I knew it was going to be different- and it was. Had to have an u/s where the radiologist noted calcifications- all these new words. I had never felt a lump and no one had ever talked about thickening and how that could be an indicator. The calcifications were not seen on the mammogram, so who knows how long they had been there. The radiologist ordered a biopsy and he informed me, “It's nothing I would lose sleep over". How wrong he was. Those days between the biopsies and the results were some of the darkest days of my life. AND STAY OFF OF GOOGLE. DR. GOOGLE IS NOT YOUR FRIEND! I already knew when I received the call. Like others have said, everyone's journey is unique. The majority of biopsies come back benign, but they are the only way to know with absolute certainty what is going on. And we are all here to listen, commiserate, offer support and answer questions. We have all been where you're at. We are all rooting and crossing our fingers that you do not have to join our club. Despite my sisters diagnosis, she went on to have a baby last year at the age of 42. Whatever the results may be, we will be here for you. Please keep us updated and don't hesitate to reach out if you're struggling or have a question. Sending cyber hugs and lots of positive energy and thoughts your way.
