Good Morning
I am 50 years old and was fortunate to have a mammogram at 47 which came back clear showing a few macrocalcifications but no treatment necessary. A month ago, I had a routine mammogram and was called back for further investigation. I had a cyst drained out 10 years ago after finding a lump and was told that I am prone to cysts but to never assume a lump is a cyst. I assumed that they had detected another cyst and wanted to make sure.
I went to the appointment and had another mammogram and an ultrasound. I was them told that I had microcalcifications on my left breast. I had a biopsy of a lymph node and also had to have a biopsy using a mammogram.
I felt like I had been hit by a bus.....
I have been told the mammogram has been graded as M4 and the ultrasound as U3.
Now have to wait 12 days to get results and it is the hardest thing to get my head round.
I feel like I have been given a death sentence, I have a 10 year old son and I am not letting him know anything yet. He asked me why I had plasters on my biospy sites and I said that I had to have an injection and he seemed happy with that.
Any support would be greatly appreciated as I am going out of my mind.
