Prayers to you. Waiting is the absolute worst part.
Have you checked your e-mail? My results come in through MyChart and they are generally there within 2 days, 3 tops.
I am a worrier as well and I have literally made myself physically ill because I've worked myself up over tests I've had to have done and I'm always "sure" something is going to be wrong.
Fingers crossed and please post when you get the all clear!

On 1/27/2015 seanoyes said: I feel your anxiety. My sister was recently diagnosed and then found out it was an inherited gene. Thus we all went for testing, stress of waiting for results despite my "normal mammogram". Demanded an MRI, followed up with a biopsy of what was called a non- cancerous cyst. A day later my doctor called me at work to tell me I tested positive for Cancer. The waiting game is truly awful!
Sorry.
How do you find out it was an inherited gene? My sister was also diagnosed with DCIS and was told it's estrogen positive. Luckily, she had to have no follow-up treatments of radiation or chemotherapy. The chances of her getting it in her other breast even without Tamoxifen is only 12%.
The only other family history we have is my mom's sister and that was back in the early 60's.

It sounds like you are blowing this way out of proportion. Why manufacture something to worry about where it does not exist? I am a BC survivor and I march in there , get it over with, and forget about it til the letter comes in the mail. Getting my undies in a knot would not make the results any different.

You can get a DNA test done but they are expensive and once you know you are + for the gene you can't unknow it.

I KEEP TELLING YOU WOMEN TO GO TO A PLACE WHERE THE RESULTS ARE READ IMMEDIATELY BY A DOCTOR AND HE/SHE GIVES YOU THE RESULTS BEFORE YOU LEAVE.
My mother had BC TWICE and I HATE going for mammograms/sonograms. However, switching to a facility where I get the results IMMEDIATELY has helped me tremendously. There in no need to wait or go back for additional images--if you need them you will get them right away. This is one of the best decisions that I have EVER made in my life!
BTW, my mother turned 96 in October! BC is NOT a death sentence.
