Lump found on mammogram

I’m 53 and had my second mammogram about 3 weeks ago, last Saturday I got a letter saying I needed to go for more tests. I went on Wednesday and they told me there was changes on my right breast that wasn’t there on my 1st mammogram so I had another more intense mammogram and ultrasound guided biopsy. The dr doing the test said I had a 1cm lump ( which couldn’t be felt) she then told me I would get an appointment the following week for my results as they will be discussing my case in the MDT meeting a few days later. The doctor also said I would see the consultant who will discuss my treatment plan and surgery. My husband came with me and although at no point did they say we think this is cancer we both got exactly the same feeling that that’s what they suspect just from the way she was talking.There was also no mention that it was just a cyst.   
the waiting is horrible, and I do know that I have been very lucky and seen very quickly but it’s horrible knowing they have got my results and discussed it yesterday and I’ have no idea what they are.

  • Hi Askinforafriend,

    Thank you for the update. I fully appreciate how you feel, because I felt very similar when I was first diagnosed, even though mine was grade 1 too. No matter how well prepared you think you are for this news, it still hits you hard.

    If you stop to think about this, grade 1 is good, because this means that you have caught it early and it should be very treatable, especially if your lymph nodes are clear. A lumpectomy and radiotherapy are all very "doable" Did they tell you which type of breast cancer you have and how soon you are likely to have your lumpectomy? Believe it or not, life will become easier once you know exactly what you are dealing with and start to treat it. You can do this and we are all here to support you along your journey.

    Kind regards,
