Hi, I'm sorry to say this was true in my case.....but please don't automatically think it will be the same for you....I couldn't help thinking that they shouldn't have said anything at all until they had the biopsy results, as they got my hopes up...then to come crashing down.....

just remember....that this may well be a fibroadenoma for you.....try not to dwell too much, do you get results in 2 weeks? Xx

I’ve been following your story on here and can’t believe what you’re going through. I know it’s rare but the worry of that is still strong. Was your lump smooth and oval like they expect a fibroadenoma to look like? X 

Hi,

Just wanted to say I went to see the breast consultant today to get a lump checked over, although I was pretty confident it was a sebaceous cyst. He also agreed and the ultra sound confirmed it. Whilst there both breasts were given a thorough ultrasound,  and to my surprise he found a lump in the other breast. I didnt even know it was there. He's pretty confident it's just a fibrodeama, but took two biopsys to be on the safe side. I'm not overly worried at this current time. If anything I hope I'll be another person on this thread with a confirmed fibrodeama, and itll reasure anyone new reading this thread. 

Results are back in a week, so I'll keep you updated.

Hi MemeDeb,

Welcome to our forum. I am so sorry to hear that you have to be the 'exception to the rule'. You must have got quite a shock when you returned to the clinic for your test results. This is why I always advise people to take someone with them when attending a clinic, especially when getting any test results.

I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the past 10 years and can fully appreciate just how you felt when you were told. I am so glad to hear that you have good support from family and friends. Have you got a date for your lumpectomy yet? I hope that it comes through soon and, that all goes well for you.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Hi Superted,

Welcome to our forum. I am sorry to hear about the discovery of a lump in your other breast and, hope that the biopsies don't find anything untoward.

I sincerely hope that you will be another person on this thread with a confirmed fibrodeama.

We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Hi Laurenevie,

Welcome to our forum. I am sorry to hear that you are having similar problems and, as we haven't heard from you for a while, I just wonder how you got on with your GP?

Hope all is ok.

Kind regards,

Hi Mise,

I am so sorry to hear that you are having similar symptoms, but glad to know that you have managed to persuade your GP to refer you to the clinic. Where have you been left with this, are you having any further surgery or treatment for your cysts or fibroadenoma?

Kind regards,

Hi Jolamine

Thank you for that.

I had result of benign and no surgery required, so very relieved with that. It was good to be able to update on here to ease the worry of those waiting on results, and I extend good wishes to anyone who hasn't had a good outcome from their tests. It does seem that results can go either way for some.

Hi Mise,

This news is about as good as it gets, so I bet that you feel a great sense of relief now. I sincerely hope that you don't have any more problems like this, but we are always here for you if you need to talk.

Kind regards,

Thanks Jolamine.

Hi Jolamine,

Thank you for your kind thoughts and words of support. My surgery is scheduled for Tuesday 11th with the results two weeks after. 

I know now that the cancer is grade 2 intrusive cancer that is estrogen positive (might not be the correct terms but I'm sure you know what I mean). The support that I have received from not only family and friends but also from the staff at the hospital has been amazing ️. 

Just need to now take it one step at a time and be positive..

Xx

Hi MemeDeb,

Not long to wait now, which is good. I am so glad to hear that you have had great support from the hospital staff as well as family and friends. It makes such a difference to how you feel about everything when you feel that your care team are right behind you. Most care teams throughout the country are outstanding. On the odd occasion that people are not so fortunate it is difficult to be so positive.

Trying to take everything in is just too much for now. Try to take things day by day or even hour by hour where need demands. Once you start your surgery, you will begin to feel much more positive, as you start to feel that you are moving forward.

I sincerely hope that all goes well for you on 11th. I shall be thinking of you and, am hoping and praying for a good outcome.

Kind regards,
