Breast Biopsy

Mackenna
Offline

Hi everyone,

I had my  3 Biopsies last Thursday, the lump I found they thnk its nothing to worrie about but found another lump they are concerned about.

Im trying not to worry but do get waves of worry and tears, I'm sure this is normal,

Do you all get like that?

Its the not knowing and also having pain on the side of my body, even before Biopsy.

Has anyone else had this?

Kind Regards

    Hi Mackenna,

    I can assure you that the way you are feeling is nfortunately perfectly normal. Dealing with the unknown is always difficult and our imaginations tend to go into overdrive. Having a biopsy can leave the breast tender for a while afterwards, but it is unusual to have pain associated with breast cancer. Not all breast  lumps are cancerous. Many are benign cysts, hormonal or fibrous changes. Only 1 person in every 8 who attend the breast clinic will get a cancer diagnosis.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,
