Hello Elrio12 and thanks for posting,

I am sorry to learn about what happened at your breast clinic appointment and can understand how unsettling this must be for you.  

I am not sure if anyone else will come along and post. This is because I don't think people who turn out to have benign tumours always linger on forums for very long although they might use them when under investigation.

Whatever was said to you at the clinic,  the biopsy results will be needed to complete the picture, so for now I am not sure that you will be able to find out much more. And tempting though it is to look for answers online, they are seldom to be found there and searching often takes you round in circles without being much the wiser.

If you can, try and distract yourself from thinking about what might be the matter and have a plan to fill your time until Tuesday when you should know more. 

If you want to talk to us our number is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and we are around weekdays 9-5. 

Wishing you the best,

Julia

Elric 

sorry to find you here 

I will be honest with you about my experiences 

that's a mirror image of my 1 st breast clinic appointment they told me suspicious a week later it was confirmed , 

however that was last July I'm fully back to normal fizzy pop bottle life 

it's a lot to take in at first they cannot tell you until the biopsy is back but I think they can see certain characteristics beforehand as they are the experts .and im sure they sort of prepare you 

I hope that by some chance yours comes back ok 

good luck stay here for support I'm here to help or chat lovely 

love Lara (im 48 ) 

Thank you.

I think I am in shock/denial but know deep down. 
I just pray it hasn't spread and it's early enough to be removed. 
 

im pleased you're feeling well again, long may that continue ️xx

Thank you.

I think I know deep down but I'm in so much shock and denial. I am trying to keep busy but everytime I sit down I'm crying, petrified I'm going to die :(  x

I was the same I was in denial I couldn't believe what I heard at my first appointment it was like a bad dream 

one hood thing it's got to be early it's tiny if it does end up being a diagnosis 

I didn't have chemo just radiotherapy and take the tablet for 5 years mine was very early stages grade 1 to 2 .caught very early in it's tracks I didn't have a aggressive type thankfully 

through my journey I worked from home lived my life as normal no way for one day I would give up 

these days it's not a death sentence it's highly treatable .

love Lara ️

Hi Elrio, like Lara, I can only tell you my experience and yours may be very different and I do hope it is. I was 63 when I found a lump last year, unfit and overweight. I had a mammogram and ultrasound. The radiologist took biopsies because what she saw looked suspicious. Then I saw a doctor who also said "highly suspicious". So I wasn't surprised to have BC diagnosed a couple of weeks later. The tumour was 35mm, grade 3 (very active/fast growing), and had spread to my lymph nodes. I had 7 cycles of chemo, which was not nearly as bad as I'd expected, as well as targeted therapy for my subtype (HER2 positive) and had a lumpectomy and lymph node clearance 3 weeks ago. Chemo was 100% sucessful in killing off all the cancer. I feel hopeful that if you should get a diagnosis it will be very treatable and you will bounce back in no time. Do let us know how you get on and we're all here for you if you have any questions or just want to chat. God bless. Amy xx

Sorry to hear this. I had a similar awful experience with a sonographer at my ultrasound. Scanned the swollen lymph node in my neck, looked at his computer and said 'ahh yes, we know what this is, would you like me to tell you?'

when I insisted no, I'd like to wait for my specialist to sit down with me and talk me through any results, he said 'that's fine, I won't say what it is.. I can't say it's good news and I'd love to be able to tell you it's nothing, but il leave that up to your consultant to discuss with you'
