Hi, 

I was seen at the breast clinic for a 2WW appointment 2 weeks ago. At the appointment the ultrasound showed what looked like a solid lump however it was quite deep and under scar tissue. The radiologist did a core biopsy during which fluid was released from the lump, it appeared cloudy with some blood from what I could see on the needle. The radiologist said that the lump had immediately reduced in size so she thought it was a cyst however would still send the sample off or be tested. 

The consultant booked me in for a follow up appointment 4 weeks later (still 2 weeks to go!). My biopsy wound has now healed so I have been able to see if the lump had now gone, which I assume a cyst would?, but the lump is still there. 

My dad is currently unwell and I am caring for him and have been unable to tell my family about the lump through fear of causing more stress for what might be nothing. I just have a very uneasing feeling about it this time. I've previously had 2 benign lumps removed from the same breast but it feel different this time. 

If anyone has had a similar experience or has experience with cysts, I'd really appreciate hearing your story. 

Thanks x
