Consultant says I have Breast Cancer, waiting for results

Hi please can someone help me. I went to my gp who felt my lump and she did not think the lump was anything to worry about and she could feel nothing in my armpit. She suggested that I visit the breast clinic as she obviously could not rule it out for certain. I went on Friday and had a mammogram and ultrasound and the consultant told me there and then that she was certain that i had breast cancer but wanted take a biopsy from the lump and from under my arm. She took three samples from each. My friend told me today that she should not have told me that until she had the evidence from the biopsy as the biopsy could still come back benign. I have now got it in my head that it must have spread and it must be incredibly bad and that's how she knows without evidence. Please could someone help me as I am now so scared again

    . I had to go for an mri and then another ultrasound on the  back of that, thankfully that was good news,  .

    Yes the sending for more tests is more worrying , but best to get everything checked and have a full picture . Ive never been as nervous n worrying as have been these last weeks.

    I promise you hand on heart , after the first few weeks things start to get more normal sooner than you think I think we go in to shock these massive changes and it puts us on stop if you no what I mean I had to cancel 4 holidays my life felt over but I can honestly say now it's like it never happened so please don't think that you will always feel as you do 

    love Lara ️

    this is why I can't leave this group as I was exactly the same as you I just want to try and reassure you that what you are feeling is absolutely the same as I was so I just want to say that at that time I felt as if I was akways going to feel like that I sort of detached from my normal life and thought this was gunna be my new life but it wasn't it soon changed back to me being me again 

    love Lara ️

  • I agree, Laura your posts are so positive and they're so helpful. Please don't leave the forum, we still need you. I'm waiting for biopsy results and the consultant said 80% it's cancer. I did not sleep at all since hearing that yesterday. I asked him why he thought that and he said its due the calcifications and lump in armpit. I'm really trying to cling on to the 20%. I've still got a 2 weeks wait and I don't know how I'm going to get through it. I spoke to the nurse and she was helpful!

  • Thanks Nicola. I hope its positive news for you too nd hope the CT scan comes back clear. The waiting is the hardest part, I spoke with the nurse and she gave me breathing techniques to use and other coping mechanisms to help with the anxiety. Might be worth calling them. Sending you virtual hugs! I wish there was something more I could do.
