Breast cancer Could they have got it wrong?

I found a lump in my breast a few weeks ago my GP referred me to the breast care centre but assured me he just thought it was fatty tissue or a cyst so, to be honest, I haven't really worried at all about going to the hospital.

My appointment was on Tuesday when I got there I was seen straight the way by the consultant who again assured me she said your 36 no history of cancer I'm not worried we will send you for an ultrasound if that is normal you will be discharged today. I went for the ultrasound there were three radiologists they were pointing and whispering at the screen then they said they were not sure what they were looking at they would send me for a mammogram and have to do a biopsy today.

The radiologist kept saying ing they had found something that was very suspicious and they were 90% sure it was something suspicious and not very nice. after I had been through all this I have seen the consultant again she apologised for what they said at the beginning and congratulated me on going to the doctors there was a breast cancer nurse specialist in the room, she asked me if I had understood what they had said so they are telling me I have breast cancer and she said yes I'm not going to sugar coat  it but how can they tell that when they don't even have the biopsy results back yet I keep thinking maybe they have it wrong I mean they could have got it wrong?? I have to wait until next Thursday for all the results 

 

 

  • hi so sorry I haven’t let you know what happened I have been trying to process everything they said it’s definitely cancer I have two masses in my breast so it looks like I’m going to be having a total mastectomy on the 12th August but first I have got to have a MRI to see if it has spread anywhere else and to see if they have missed any of it I hope you are alright and still managing to muddle through the wait is worse than torture xx 

  • Hi helen.  Not sure if you got the message i sent a couple of weeks ago but just wanted to check you are ok?

    Know you have your surgery next week ( unless anything has changed) and wanted to say hope your mri went ok.

    I am having masectomy too but no date yet.

    Take care

  • Hello Kelly. Im sorry you have had this news. Its scary and at first i think i was overwhelmed as i had no idea what to expect etc. Please know how you are feeling is normal. How much has your consultant told you so far about your treatment? I had a masectomy, chemo, immunotherapy and radiotherapy. I finished treatment last december. I know lots of other ladies who have finished treatment and are thriving ....you can do this. I found the waiting for treatment the worst bit. I joined a really good uk support group on fb too as i found it easier to talk to people who understood. If you want to talk or ask any questions please message. Please dont sit and suffer alone x
