Breast core biopsy - anxious wait!

Hey everyone,

I have come across this forum and it's awesome!!

I found a pea sized lump in my breast at the end of Nov - went straight to the Drs who suspected a cyst but referred me to breast screening just to be on the safe side.

Appt at the clinic on Tuesday 14th Dec and had mammogram, ultra sound and core biopsy as not a cyst....  Consultant suspects Fibroadenoma and said that I would receive a letter either asking me to return or a letter confirming all was ok....

Received a letter through the post today asking me to return to the clinic on New Years Eve - called and asked for more information and she just said it's to get your results - the consultant prefers to give results face to face!

I am not sure how I am going to cope through Christmas, I am so anxious and overthinking everything!!

And driving my husband insane!!

    Hi Chellept,

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    I am so sorry to hear about your anxiety and sorry to hear that you cannot put your mind to rest before Christmas. Most consultants prefer to give the results face-to-face. If s/he suspects fibroadenoma, then hopefully this will be the case.

    We always tend to overthink things at this stage and, I must confess that I gave my poor hubby a very hard time when I was waiting for a diagnosis too. Since then, I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the past 12 years and I still live a busy and fulfilled life.

    Please let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Try to have a Very Happy Christmas, despite having this hanging over your head.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
