Hi all, I have never been so petrified in my life. Im 37 and 4 weeks ago I was showering and bent down to lift the shampoo and noticed like a lump on my left breast. My doctor checked it that day and said it could be a fibroadenoma but he was going to refer me anyway. I eneded up going private for an ultrasound and the girl said she couldn't tell for sure what it was and put it down as undetermined and that she would advise a biopsy. She said it could be a fibroadenoma or phyloddes that it presented like an atypical fibroadenoma. I went last week for my biopsy and I also got a mamogram and they did like a cell test that day which they were able to confirm that it was malignant. They said my lymph nodes were clear and they told me it was stage 1. I should hear results back at the end of this week about the type of cancer it is and I am terrified incase it is a rare one. I just can't believe this.
Because in my first ultrasound when she wasn't sure and mentioned not to panic that it could be a fibroadenoma or a phyloddes. I googled them and phyloddes can be benign, borderline or malignant and the malignant ones are very rare. Before I had my biopsy the consultant said he had only ever seen 1 in his whole 33yrs in his role. So now im freaking out incase that is what I have and that it is not just a malignant breast cancer that they can treat.
