Hi, I'm a 27yr old Mom of two and recently found another lump in my left breast. Doctor referred me to the breast clinic where an ultrasound was done and the lady said it was just an island of breast tissue change.
After this, the consultant said he was not concerned but still wanted to aspirate just to be clear as I had a lump in the same place four years ago.
Two weeks after the aspiration I had a letter come through the post to say another appointment has been made for me at the breast clinic. I was very anxious and thinking the worst. Arriving there, I seen a different consultant and he said my results came back as atypical and he needed to do a core biopsy because the findings didn't match that of the ultrasound, but he doesn't expect anything bad to come back. Basically, he said they cannot 'discharge' me until they give me a clear diagnosis with it being ongoing for four years.
I suppose my question really is, are consultants always honest about what they think or do they sometimes tell you they don't think it's cancer if they have a suspicion it is? I've found this very hard to go through, especially with the current pandemic and having to attend appointments alone. Has anyone had a similar experience?
