Hiya,

I am going abit nuts if I'm honest and just need some help to de fog my brain.  

I found a small lump October 2018, I've lost weight (actively tried too) so I assumed it would be a normal thing and left it to check a month or so later. I didn't - I forgot, till 3 weeks ago when I moved around in bed and felt something against my arm. I felt the breast and it was a solid lump, in the same place but bigger. I went to the GP as a random bruise had also come up - I hadn't bumped it at all, no knock, not one thing. It's on the underside of my boob so I thought the bruise was weird.

Anyway, it went away after a few weeks so that didn't worry me whilst waiting for the appointment to get the lump checked. On the 11th (Monday just gone) I went for a scan, during the scan they said they wanted to take a small biopsy so they did and that I'd find out today. 

I recieved a phone call today and they said I need a larger biopsy (the core one I think). 

My question is : If the initial biopsy came back as normal, would they still want to carry out another, more detailed one just to make sure? It just seems like a waste of their time, mine and NHS money to have another test if it's not needed. They said it was 'nothing to worry about' so why do I need it? 

It just means more waiting and I'm losing my mind abit now. GP insisted I'd know Monday if it was, then told I would know today and now I have to wait again to find out. I was ok but now I just feel such uncertainty and abit confused by it all?

Sorry if that all seemed abit over the shop. My husband down plays it and says that its obviously a routine thing, I guess it is then but I just feel abit unsure of whether I'm coming or going.

Thanks for your time xxx
