Caya,

I know EXACTLY how you feel. Reading your post was like looking in a mirror. At my first post surgery/chemo mammo they found microcalcifications in the other breast - BIRADS 4 (which I thought was not the worst, until the surgeon said "well, if it were higher we would already know it was cancer").

It took 2 weeks to get the sterotactic biopsy and several days to get the results. Needless to say, that was a horrible two weeks. I had myself convinced that I had a second cancer, that I would never be free from this nightmare, and on and on and on. I think the wait for those results was worse than for the first dx, because I knew what I had to fear.

Thank god the results were negative, though by the time I got them I had completely prepared myself for it to be cancer, so I was quite shocked and it took a few minutes for it to sink in!

I am so sorry that you are going through this :-( I will not tell you not to worry, but try to keep your hopes up, and try not to dwell on it. I will be rooting for you!
