Playing the Waiting Game

Hi there - I am new to this web page. I had a MRI a couple of weeks ago and the results do not look promising. I am scheduled for an US-guided bx next Thursday if they can locate the masses under US. If not, then I wait for a MRI-guided bx. Though I had a bx before, the doctors did not seem nearly as serious the last go around. This time they are not making statements like "oh, it is probably benign." I am crazy from the waiting. I think I can deal w/ the known, it is the unknown that is killing me. And I don't really want to reach out to too many folks saying I have breast cancer, since I don't know yet whether I do. I feel so alone. Fortunately my husband is wonderful and very supportive and will (of course) go w/ me to the bx next Thursday. Suggestions would be appreciated.

 

One big question - what predicts prognosis? I have seen such differenting situations. Thanks for listening.
