Fibroadenoma of the Breast

Hi I'm new to this site, I had a 2ww referral to the breast clinic as I'd found quite a large lump in my right breast.  Was seen 29/11 and had mammogram and ultrasound where they took a biopsy of the lump.  Consultant said more than likely a fibroadenoma and booked me a telephone appointment for 14/12 next Tuesday.  However whilst out doing my Xmas shopping I received a phone call from the hospital saying the consultant needs to see me face to face would not give me any inclination as to the reasons why (I did ask).  Now I have to wait a week to find out what is happening !!!! Has anyone else been through a similar experience? My anxiety is through the roof atm x thanks 

  • I did have something similar in that a couple of lumps were found after I found 1. 

    I had a mammogram, ultrasound and had to go back and have a core needle biopsy of 4 lumps. At no point during the ultrasound was I given any indication of the possible outcome. 

    The results came back in a week and I got a phone call to book an appt with the consultant to discuss my results the following week. 

    That was yesterday. Unfortunately 3 of the lumps are cancerous including the one in my armpit and I'm now awaiting a date for an MRI to look at the tumours in a bit more detail before surgery in the new year. 

    I had prepared myself (despite no-one giving me any indication) that it would be cancer so it wasn't too much of a shock. However I think because I had spent the whole week in limbo but kinda knowing at the same time that when I was told at least I knew for definite so I could start putting things in place for pastoral support for the kids and notifying my employers. 

    Fingers crossed but we are here if it's not good news

  • I'm so sorry to read this I wish you all the best.  It's such a scary time and I can't believe you have to wait to find these results out.  I'm praying they need to see me just to remove the fibroadenoma and it's not cancer.  I too am preparing for worst case scenario like you it's my way of dealing with things.  On a positive note it's amazing what they can do now.  Xxx
