needing support
Hi all,
back after my MRI in Sept-they found fat necrosis in my left breast--everything else ok-- of course in September I was only a little worried-but now I go back on 3/29- and a little anxious-- I am trying to reassure myself with the report from then which was "unlikely to be malignant" but you know how it goes.... just looking for good thoughts !!!!

I've been there. Usually 2 weeks before a test or an appointment I get anxious. Try to tell myself just worry about it when it happens, but when they see something, they follow it, and being in the 6 month club is no fun. It has gotten a bit better with time and having more knowledge (thanks to everyone @ bc.org). I just had an MRI last week, and finally no more see you in 6 months!!!
Best of luck and sending good thoughts to you to just get through it with clear results.

"unlikely to be malignant" is a typical note in all benign tests I had. No one says 100% is not malignant. If the radiologist was a bit suspicious would have recommended other tests before the 6-month mark. Good luck on march 29.

So I was going to write something more but decided that I would just send you a picture of my new desk accessory. It’s the angel of good health. I try to remind myself that worrying isn’t going to change the outcome of any test but it’s not always easy. Thinking of you and wishing you peace

Hang in there!!
I totally get what you are feeling. I do pretty well, up until close to appointment or scan time.
Scanxiety is real and a totally normal response. I hope you are able to find somethings to distract yourself while you are waiting.

Thanks all-- it gets a little easier each year-but it never ocmpletely disappears-- I did also have a PCP appointment scheduled on the same day- I rescheduled--only so much stress in one day- and I usually race back to the office, but I am just going to take the day off---- just feeling the need to slow it all down.
I am optimistic about the outcome, but as the day grows nearer, the anxiety grows.--LOVE the angel of good health!!!

Does anyone else have 3 ILC in one breast? One is HER+ one is HER- Had 2 lumpectomys : one with 2 very small tumors, one with an ILC Mass. Now am in Chemotherapy and having a very hard time controlling the side effects. This is my second fight with breast cancer. The first was 18 years ago with no problems.
