Waiting breast biopsy results but consultant confident it will be positive. I'm so scared of what comes next and need someone to talk to who understands

Hi all , 

Am absolutely terrified . Thought I found a lump 6 months ago that seemed to come , go then came back and stayed . Went to GP 3 weeks ago who didn't think it was sinister but referred me to breast unit . Had appointment on Monday and consultant after seeing mammogram and scan is confident it is sinister .. Now just waiting for biopsy results .. Lump is somewhere between 1.3 & 1.5 mm according to the images.  Am just so scared of what comes next and desperately need someone to talk to who understands x

  • I have a prescription waiting at the hospital since my enquiry this morning but it's 14 miles there and back so difficult to get a lift in to pick it up without asking my network of friends - they have done so much already..

    Macmillan nurse says I could have the pain for more weeks to come as the nerves have been severed and it will take time to heal. I guess Its the pain that is so debilitating... It's difficult to plan anything as at present I feel vulnerable as I am so sore and fearful of being around lots of people in case they bump into me. Silly I know but probably understandable.

    I understand tramadol is as serious in its side effects as codeine so wouldn't be happy with that. Have to see what they've given me once I can get to the pharmacy!

    All the best and so glad you are doing well!
