B3 Leison - Surgery Needed

Hi everyone,

I am hoping to hear from other people in this position.

I had some clear nipple discharge and was referred to my local breast clinic. I didn't feel a lump and they didn't either but I have history of breast  cancer in the family so I was sent for an ultrasound. While I was there she found a growth and took 2 core needle biopsies and left a marker.

I got my results yesterday that said it wasn't cancerous but the cells were abnormal and so I would need an excision biopsy to remove it and then it would be sent for final pathology.

Its just the one lump but I forgot to ask how big it was.

I'm relieved but now a little confused that it still needs to be checked further. I'm also nervous about the surgery.

Has anyone else had a B3 lesion and or had this surgery that can offer me some advice?

Thank you so much.

  • You are much braver than me Nelly!  I had a mammogram afterwards, to check everything was gone and the marker was in place correctly - that was the only time I opened my eyes throughout the whole procedure .   I think the most stressful bit by far was waiting for the results, rather than the procedure itself, and my heart goes out to you, knowing you have to go through all of this.  At least you're not on your own, as the women on this site are of great support to each other.  Take care x
