fibroadenoma Biopsy advice

Hi, Im just looking for some advice. I’m feeling terrified and lost and scared. I’m in my 30s and found a lump the size of like half a grape and have been to the great clinic. When I went to see the regestra he said he thought it would be a cyst but when I went in for the ultra sound she said could be fibroadenoma but because some of it wasn’t smooth she wanted the biopsy and did some biopsy’s and scanned my underarm. Felt like she was clicking the mouse under there when she was scanning. Then I went back into the first room. They have booked me an appointment in 3 weeks time for the results and didn’t give me any inclination of if it’s anything or not as they can’t say until they have results. I’m just so scared. I don’t know what to do with myself. Do they call you sooner if they find something or do they wait unti The appointment? I’m just so so scared.

  • Hello 321_cake and thank you for getting in touch.

    I’m sorry to hear what you’re going through. As Jolamine has mentioned, waiting for tests and results can be very stressful and understandably cause anxiety.

    Most breast lumps are not cancer, but it’s always important to get them checked, and you’ve done the right thing by doing so. The waiting period can feel particularly difficult, and many people feel a loss of control during this time.

    Some people find it helpful to stay busy, for example, by working or spending time with friends, while others prefer not to. There’s no right or wrong way to cope; it’s about what feels right for you.

    The timing of your results appointment is usually not linked to what the results might show.

    In the meantime, I hope you have friends or family you can lean on for support. You’re also very welcome to get back in touch with us. If you’d prefer to speak to someone, our nurses are available on the helpline Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040.

    Take care,

    Jemma
