Hi. I'm 28 year old woman (29 in 4 days) and on the 12th December I found a lump in my left breast. I was straight in the GP, straight for a referral.
My first appointment at the hospital was 19th Dec, the clinician checked and said it felt like a cyst but I wouldn't be able to have an ultrasound until 31st. I was beside myself with worry so paid to go private. This was the 20th December and he said it was a fibroadenoma and was so confident, he didn't want me to pay for an ultrasound and let the NHS do their thing so that's what I did.
31st rolls around and the doctor then was also pretty confident it was a fibroadenoma but did an FNA for confirmation. My results day was on Monday 13th and I was greeted with a doctor and team of breast care nurses to be told my FNA came back with abnormal cells and they're shocked due to age, look of ultrasound and lack of family history. I was rushed through the next day for a mammogram and 5 core biopsies. 3 in the lump and 2 in the lymph nodes in my arm pit.
I don't find out until the 28th what the results are. Am I likely to be told I have cancer? Has this ever happened to anyone and had good news? Even the imaging doctor who did my biopsies said they would've said fibroadenoma too if they didn't know my cell biopsy results.
I have a 3 year old and I'm just besides myself.
