Just had a biopsy which was really painful as I have breast implants and they struggled to get it. They were confident it’s just a fibroadenoma but I’m still stressing. Has anyone been told it’s just a fibroadenoma and it turned out to be malignant?

Hi
i know this was over a year ago now but unfortunately at the age of 36 my suspected fibroid adinoma was cancerous. I too was shocked, as the sonographer had reassured me it was very unlikely to be cancerous. They called it a mouse as it moved. However due to family history I did eventually find out I have the BRCA 2 gene.
I really hope yours was benign but if anyone else reads this it is very very rare to not be benign so please try not to panic x
Hi,
I have been following this thread, sorry to hear about your misdiagnosis. It sounds very similar to mine.
I'm 36 and was told 3 times I had a fibroadenoma until a biopsy confirmed it was actually breast cancer. I'm now half way through chemotherapy and will be having a mastectomy afterwards as the tumor had split off any caused another smaller cancerous lump in the same breast. Which strangely when I went for that biopsied was originally told it was also probably nothing. I did have spread to my lymph nodes but nowhere else in my body and am awaiting my results from my genetic testing.
I had a third lump that a CT scan picked up and was told again it was a fibroadenoma whwn i went for the biopsy. I didn't want to be awkward as everyone was lovely but I just didn;t want to listen to them say that again. Turns out the third lump was actually a fibroadenoma thankfully.
Good luck to all in this thread.
Can I ask what type of pain you're experiencing?
Understandably we maybe thinking too much into it. You'll soon get your results which will no doubt will be good. Keeping occupied is your best bet until then.
It's uncomfortable to touch and sharp pain when pressed on which usually I feel in bed when I lie on my side.
yeah I agree, fingers crossed! Wishing you all the best with your referall too! X
Thanks for this, mines tender to touch sometimes sharp pain but not always.
I think I'll be going round and round in circles until I actually get tested. My appointment is on the 8th November, I'm assuming it'll take a further week or 2 for the results :(.
Good luck on the 8th. I hope it goes well for you
Did you get your results ? X
Sorry to hear about your health concer!
I found a lump in my right breast about 2 weeks ago. I first had a phone call appointment with my GP then an in person appointment a week later. She said she pretty sure it's just a firboderma as it's moves around. She said they call this a breast mouse. But just to be sure she reffered me to a breast clinic to be seen within the next 2 weeks.
It's been 4 days so far. Haven't received the appointment letter just yet.
To answering your questions regarding the brest pain or burning feeling I feel a burning pain and tenderness sometimes sharp pain which all comes and goes but mainly in my right breast only. That's why I check my breast in the first place. To be honest I didn't expect to find anything but I find a hard prominent lump which even my husband can feel.
I'm pretty sure it's nothing to worry but in the back of my mind I still just want to get an all clear confirmation from a doctor. I had cervical cancer in 2018 which is all clear now, but I can't help it this situation playing games on my mind.
Let me know what was the outcome of your situation!
Best wishes!
Just thought I'd quickly reply and follow this thread.
I have had something similar where i found a lump on my right breast about 3 weeks ago (not visible but easily felt) had my appointment at the breast clinic on the 30th where after a the surgeon did an ultrasound said he thinks it may be fibroadenoma but because od my age (28) he wanted to do a biopsy to confirn. He told me i would get a call for results on Friday (today) however the consultant said afterwards i would hear by call or letter in 7-10 days. I am still yet to hear anything.
It is very hard not to worry, i am glad to hear for those who have had a positive benign result and hope for those unlucky ones treatment is going well x
Hello
I hope everyone is well. I was just wondering if anyone had any updates from the end of last year?
I found a lump early December but my GP made me wait until I had my period to see if it was just hormonal. It did not change so I was at the breast clinic last week and also had a biopsy. Anxiously waiting on my results now. All this waiting is so hard and if I'm honest Im tired of pretending to be positive to make others feel better.
Hope everyone is well!
Hi!
may I ask how old you are? I found a lump early December too, they told me not to worry as I'm only 24 turning 25 but it doesn't stop you worrying! I have an appointment at the breast clinic in 2 weeks where I will get a scan. Do you think I will need a biopsy too?
I hope everything goes okay and the results come back as nothing to worry about, take care xx
Hi
No of course not, I'm 35.
To be honest I did not think anything of the lump when I 1st found it so was shocked when they wanted to do a biopsy at the scan appointment. Unfortunately only they can tell you when they do the scan if youl need a biopsy but they do it there and then and it's very quick.
Its the waiting that's the tough part! I'm sure yours will be fine too, they are so good and careful with lumps and bumps. X

Thank you so much PJ36 and mrs hutch
I hope everything turns out okay PJ36! Try and think positive, I know it's hard but they are common and hopefully this is your case as well as mine.
take care xxx
