Cone Biopsy Results

I am sure a few of you have been where I am now. Last Wednesday I had a recall appointment after a mammogram and had an ultrasound and cone biopsy. Tomorrow I am literally going to find out if I have breast cancer or not and I am surprised by how numb I feel. I thought I would be feeling really nervous but I don’t I just feel flat. Two years ago I had a mole that turned out to be a melanoma. I suppose I am convinced that I will get a positive result and am resigned to it. The lump is very small I can’t even feel it. So I am probably just thinking they’ll tell me I need a lumpectomy and that it’ll be dealt with. I don’t know, has anyone else been through the same and how did you feel?

I’m too much of a coward to have a mammogram because I get in such a state waiting for test results so well done you for not being silly like me. Will be thinking of you tomorrow. We’re all here for you x

MayBee70 1 in 8 women will get breast cancer. I cannot believe you will not have a mammogram.

All the very best for tomorrow, Buttonjugs. Please let us know how you get on, but we'll be thinking of you.

I had a scare, but it didn't turn out to be cancer - I think most tests are negative. flowers

I do have them. But missed my last one because the pandemic started. I will get one done. But this isn’t about me it’s about Buttonjugs.

Thank you. I think most tests are negative but they said most follow up ultrasounds are negative too! And because of my previous journey being the same I guess expecting the worst. But if it’s the best it will be a bonus ☺️ I’ll be back tomorrow.

Buttonjugs I had a cone biopsy and my result was positive..but.. 24 years later and I am still here.
My lump was quite big when I found it, mammogram showed nothing, ultrasound showed nothing but the consultant radiographer had a hunch so asked the consultant in the dept that day to see me and do a cone biopsy.
I was operated on two weeks later.
The figures today show that most women will make a good recovery, things have improved even since I was diagnosed.
I shall be thinking of you tomorrow and willing you on to be positive whatever you are told.
Please come back and let us know.

I have everything crossed for you Buttonjugs

Hope all goes well....when I had a core biopsy they told me they were very certain it was cancer and that the biopsy was to confirm.....so the fact you wernt told this is promising.....if they suspect they will tell you from the off

Thinking of you today Buttonjugs.
I am a breast cancer survivor. I had a mastectomy in 1998 and I'm still here.... and procedures are bound to have improved tremendously in all those years.

Good luck and I hope all goes well. You're doing brilliantly. flowers

Thank you to everyone the support meant a lot. I was getting ready for the appointment and got a phone call to tell me I didn’t need to attend because it was a benign cyst! The relief is overwhelming. I don’t have breast cancer 🎉🎉🎉
