Hello

It is hard to predict what will happen next.  It sounds like the consultant is telling you the truth, I don't think he would say it still might be benign unless he genuinely thought so.  Sometimes needle biopsies can be inconclusive so I suspect that they want to do the MRI to get a better image of the lump and following this they may want to do a further biopsy.  It is really difficult waiting to find out what the next steps are, but in situations like these its hard to predict exactly what will happen.  Try not to make too many assumptions until you next see the team and have the opportunity to talk things through with them once they have the results of the MRI and any further tests they may want to do.  If you explain to them that you are someone who likes to know everything they will explain things fully to you.

It is so hard waiting in situations like this.  I hope you get some answers soon
