Hello,
I found a lump in my lower right breast 10 months ago. I was referred on the 2 week wait to the breast clinic. When there they felt the lump and then also found two smaller lumps in my left breast. I had an ultrasound on both and they said as the one I originally came in with looked similar to the others (that I can’t feel as small) they were only going to do a biopsy on one lump in the left breast. They suspected Fibroadenoma but did the biopsy anyway.
It came back as Fibroadenoma and I was discharged. The original lump I went about in the right breast is still very prominent and I feel it’s getting bigger, I can feel it when I’m laid on my side and can be uncomfortable. My worry is because they didn’t actually biopsy this what if it isn’t a Fibroadenoma and something has been missed. Can this happen?
I worry as my sister was told she had a cyst in her neck but it turned out to actually be a metastatic melanoma, she’s now terminally ill as it’s spread to her brain so I of course have the worry of misdiagnosis.
I’m someone that doesn’t want to bother someone for the sake of it so don’t know whether to just leave it or go back as they never actually biopsied the one I was originally worried about. Or is it silly for me to go back when they’ve said it’s a probable Fibroadenoma (but no biopsy just a scan).
I’m 37. My mum has a history or breast cancer but she was diagnosed at 60.
Thank you
