Mammogram recall 4 biopsies taken high risk malignancy

Where do I begin? This morning was a normal day then it imploded.

I had 2 repeat mammograms and then a consultation with the radiologist who said she was pretty certain what I was looking at was cancer in my mammogram. 
left breast 1 area quite large then 2 tiny dots elsewhere in the breast( she said they were tiny and not sure about them. Ultrasound done and 3 biopsies take. In the breast and 1 in armpit. Doctor said it was larger but that doesn’t mean it’s anything nasty could be the core is bigger?? Not sure what that meant. Anyway 4 local anaesthetics, 4 biopsies and 4 markers.. 

I am a mess… the results apparently will be through next week but I have to wait 2 weeks to be called to the hospital to get the results and treatment plan. Larger splodge on mammogram outside of left breast.

I am broken to be honest. Husband being stoic he has recovered from cancer twice. Any positives from this??

I could t feel any lumos no breast changes but she said she could feel the main lump. Last mammogram 3 years ago was fine.

tha k you so much xx

  • Hello and welcome ,I am really sorry to hear your story . I had an inverted nipple in left  breast last July ,went to see about it and had mammogram on both breasts .They found something in the left and did a biopsy there and then . They told me that they were 90% certain that this was a cancer , unfortunately something else was in the other breast but very small and not palpable . I had to have a mammogram guided biopsy about 1O days later which also confirmed a cancer. I had had a mammogram the previous year , which had been clear .

    In the September I had a double mastectomy, followed by total lymph clearance on the left . Neither of these operations were painful and all went well . The staff at Breast clinic and ward were amazing . Chemo started in December ,which luckily was fine too .I finished all treatments in March ,feeling really well and awaiting reconstructive surgery now . 
    It was a shock but I am sure you will get through this ,friends and family were great too .I would involve them as much as possible if you can .If you have a Maggies near you ,they are very helpful for you and family .Can also help with any benefits or blue badges if needed,as they have social workers there.

    They can support you as well . 

    I hope this has been of some help and there will be a positive outcome I am sure.

    Keep in touch xxx
