Not sure how to feel - waiting for breast biopsy results after small lump found during ultrasound

Hi all. I have recently had a biopsy of my breast and just waiting on the results. I was referred to the breast clinic after my routine mammogram was unclear. They took further mammograms and gave me an ultrasound and found a very small lump that I would never have found myself. They said that it was small, early and treatable as they are erring on the side that it is most likely the C word. My emotions are all over the place and it comes in waves. not really sure what to expect with what comes next.

    Hi LF2024

    How was your radiotherapy appointment?? Xx

    At least you haven't got long to wait, I hope your ok. My mind went into overload at that point. What time is your appointment? Are you going with someone? I went to all my appointments on my own but looking back I think it might have been better to take someone. I really hope it's nothing, let me know how you get on xx

    My oncologist appointment was positive, he did say he will recommend I am tested for the BRCA gene because of my age and family history and now I feel like that's hanging over me! I want it done ASAP but I think it's a bit of a process? I'm waiting for a letter for the radiotherapy dates and they want to do a CT scan before Christmas so they can see what area to target but with only a couple of weeks to go and royal mail I'm worrying about that now!

    I've since caught an awful cold and think I have cording from the surgery, I'm literally falling apart xxx

    Hi 

    Yeah I have someone coming with me. It's at 10am. Hope you feel better soon and get rid of the cold. I would like to think they will know of the royal mail probs and perhaps phone you with an appointment. I have no family history of breast cancer. Yeah I know what you mean about things hanging over you. Hopefully it won't be too long. Xxxx

    Thank you!! X

    No history is another really big positive!! Glad your not going alone.

    I'll be thinking of you at 10am on Friday. I bet your desperate to get it out of the way now. Try not to google trust me it just makes you feel worse xxx

    I understand, I was even trying to google pictures of the lump on ultrasound that Id seen at a side view!! Its puts you down a rabbit hole!! I wanted the day to come quick but when it did I didn't want it to be the day if that makes sense! Its so hard.

    I really hope it goes well tomorrow.

    I've actually managed to get an appointment to discuss my BRCA test at the doctors tonight at 7.15!! xx

    Hey!

    How did you get on? Hope your ok xx

    Hey sorry. Yeah I have it but it is very low grade and very early. The consultant said I should make a full recovery. I have either to have a lumpectomy or a that and a breast reduction (got big boobs lol). I have to go back on Monday to let them know what I decide to do. Then after the op I will get radiotherapy and probs a tablet. Still feeling a bit strange but a bit relieved as well as i know what I am dealing with. She also said there is no sign of it in my lymph nodes but they always remove a couple to be 100% sure. Did you get that done too??. How did you get on at the Docs last night?? Xxxx
