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!!

    Hey 

    I've just come across your post. 
     

    I am awaiting to go to the breast clinic on the 10th January. I have a swollen underarm and a lump in breast. 
     

    I hope your appointment goes well at end of the month.

    Hi 

    Good luck with everything. 

    I had a core biopsy yesterday and the results are back next Wednesday.

     

    I have a lump and pains under my left arm.   The doctors were blunt with me ... and I appreciate that.   The results will show WHAT kind of cancer  I  have not if I have or not.   They said it is highly unlikely to be anything else.

    I seem to be taking it oddly well... not sure it's sunk in yet.
