Breast cancer fear

I am glad you got through this hurdle, there will now be a little more waiting. First will come results, then, if it is indeed cancer they will give recommendations for treatment. If you have someone who can go with you to that appointment, that would be good. An extra set of ears, that might have a different set of questions, and a note pad is super helpful. These appointments are a lot of information coming at you at once.
How did the biopsy go?

Hi I know how you feel I had a 3.2 cm biopsy isn't that bad. They numb you first. Waiting is hard try to stay busy. One step at a time you will get to the other side. Best wishes and complete healing. ❤️

When I found my lump, I immediately got scared, but knew I had to have it looked at. Went to my Dr. and had a biopsy done. It came back cancerous. Now, keep in mind I was 65 years old and had NEVER had any type of serious illness. No surgeries, still have my tonsils, no kids,......I did break my arm when I was little, but really don't remember much of that. So now, here I am looking at chemo, radiation and surgery. I was petrified so I know how you feel. Here's the first thing............my chemo nurses were extremely kind and very friendly. So, that helped. The same with radiation. Very nice, sweet people and friendly Dr. My cancer surgeon was a women who was extremely kind and friendly and explained everything in simple English. My husband was with me at all times and that helped. People are very helpful in these situations and try to help (usually) as much as possible. You will be surprised at all the friends and family that will come to your side. Don't let your mind wander........just take it as it comes. Sending lots of prayers your way!!!

I was diagnosed February 2024 3cm tumor removed and radiation for 15 days no lymph nodes but i guess i had lymphovascular they said it was removed with surgery and now on arimidex for 5 yrs now I'm worried about recurrence.

No it's not bad they numb the area first.

I like that..." Officially my worst time in life". I'm half thru' my chemo treatment of 5 months, bald and depressed. Put all the strong words behind it and it still boils down to a bum deal. I had events to host, grandkids to play with, a life.... that is all behind me without me participating.
I know... be thankful, it could be worse. Really? Actually, it really could be worse and I best not tempt whoever decides who gets cancer and who doesn't. Staying strong doesn't seem like a choice... I just show up when I'm supposed to.
I wish benzodiazepines and so many antidepressants didn't seem to negatively affect overall survival.... or I'd be on something. As it is, I don't drink, smoke, or eat bad food... and I forgot how to laugh. Not good...

I’m sorry you are having such a hard time. It is tough for even the strongest among us. You are half way through to the other side. I’m sure the people you love and love you are rooting for you. I have had friends go through this and though my cancer treatment doesn’t include chemo, I have seen its challenges and despair. In the end you will come out of it and look at it in the rear view mirror. Sending hugs.

Upon learning of my diagnosis, a gentleman on a committee with me, took me aside and gave me some advice. It was to find something to laugh hard at every day. I settled on facebook clips of Johnny Carson, Carol Burnett and Tim Conway and a British man named Michael ? who interviews kids. Sometimes I laugh outloud so hard all by myself. It gives me those few minutes of fun. The clips of animals and babies are laughable too. Check it out.
