Fibroadenoma in breast was biopsied should I be nervous?

I’m only 20 and found a lump in my breast and the doctor sent me to a breast clinic where I went for an ultrasound. That showed what one doctor thought was a fibroadenoma, but the consultant came in and said it’s qualities don’t quite match up to that so he took two biopsy’s then and there, and I’m now waiting for the results. Should I be worried?

    Welcome to the forum and I'm sorry to hear that you've been dealing with a health worry. 

    It sounds like your GP and the Consultant are both being thorough in checking the lump. Given your age, it is statistically more likely to be a fibroadenoma than anything suspicious. 

    I hope that you don't have to wait too long for the biopsy results. Do po pback and let us know how things go. 

    Best wishes,
