Hello,

I had some breast cysts confirmed by ultrasound and mammogram in Dec 2021. They offered to drain the cysts if I liked while I was there, so I agreed as they didn't seem worried about them and I thought it would help me in future breast examinations if they were gone. I had one drained in 2020 and that was fine so I was expecting the same, but then one of the cysts drained had suspicious fluid in it (blood stained) so they sent a sample to pathology. The results came back yesterday as inconclusive and they want me to come back for a core biopsy. 
I'm so scared it will be cancer. Initially the consultant said she wasn't worried and they were testing the fluid as a precaution. But why would it come back inconclusive?

My appointment isn't until 10th Jan and then I'll probably have to wait a couple of weeks or longer due to the back log. I have the option of going privately and don't know whether to do that instead of it will speed things up as I'm going out of my mind with worry.

I have a disabled son who is 5 and needs me to be around for a lot longer yet. I feel so helpless, my husband keeps telling me to be positive and that I haven't been told it's cancer yet. I know he's right but I'm still struggling to sleep and eat, my stomach is in knots.

 Thanks for listening x
