Finally hear and scared to death

Well after waiting almost 3 weeks my Biopsy day is here -  I am having a Mammographically guided core Biopsy taking 6 samples  at midday today. I feel sick with fear... I am not bothered by needles as in injections and blood tests but somehow the thought of this biopsy and having 6 cutting needles used jsut scares me stiff!

I will get the results and have the new lump under my other arm examined properly on the 24th...

Thanks Alicia, No news on my son yet -  so frustrating!
Waiting waiting waiting-  drives me crazy -  I am an organiser and a doer and it makes it hard when the next step of everything is in someone elses hands.....

That's good to hear! Ultrasound guided biopsies are a lot less painful than mammogram guided ones.  It's just 2 weeks before the results are out, so keep yourself busy to lessen the anxiety of waiting. Will be keeping you in my prayers.

Take care and keep us posted.

Looks like you are not the only one who spelt HERE incorrectly, so did I, it must be contagious!  I really should read back over my posts before I send, because I end up with so many typo's and spelling errors.  Still, we all understand the posts. We are here to support each other and not be grammatically correct. Crack open a bottle of wine tonight and put your feet up.  It has been a long day and I'm sure you probably have not been sleeping well for nights now.

So it's finally over, what a relief for you.  It was great that it was not as made as expected and that they also took a look at the lump under your arms.

I know it is a wait to 24th June, but it will be hear before you know it.  Hopefully it will all end well.

Well The biopsy was not as bad as I was expecting-  they chose to do an Ultrasound guided biopsy instead of the Mammoguided one and only took 2 samples not the 6 I was expecting -  so the procedure took 25 minutes and not 1 hour. Also they had a look at teh lump under my right arm and he thinks it is just a fatty deposit and nothing to worry aout at all.....

So now I feel a lot calmer and have to jsut wait till the 24th for the results.

Hi ma'am,

Good luck on your biopsy. It is normal for us women to be anxious about these things. Relax and after this biopsy, go treat yourself:) God bless!
