waiting for biopsies results-mammogram

Hi had a mammogram recall on Tuesday where i had another mammogram and ultrasound and biopsies.I could see an irregular shape on the mammogram and radiographer doing the ultrasound said it was hard to be accurate doing the biopsy as it didnt look on the ultrasound the same as mammogram.I then had to have more biopsies done sitting up whilsthaving a mammogram.They put a marker in which i assume is bad news.I am almost 52 and this was first mammogram.Surgeon felt breast and said she couldnt feel any lump.But offered no reassurance.Im assuming from its irregular shape that its cancer.I am terrified.i havnt eaten since Tuesday lunchtime as feel constantly sick.i am spending hours googling.Just convinced its the worst.Sorry to moan but really feel like im not coping at all.

  • Sorry to hear that you have been going through all of this. It's not easy and the waiting is the worst thing try not to google sometimes it is misleading. The nurses at the breast clinic are really helpful and they are really up to date with the current treatment in their hospital. The scans and biopsies will have the results soon when are you going back? Biopsies were taking 10/14 days a while ago to get back to the clinic but Covid is not helping due to sickness in the labs. 
    Try to relax and and keep busy not easy l know, talk to your family and friends as sharing worries can put them in their place and others can give you distractions. 
    Take others experience with a pinch of salt as we are all different, take care and let us know how you get on .

  • I too went in on Tuesday and had a biopsy. Had a letter today to say a phone call in two weeks. I'm not coping very well. When is your appointment?

  • My next mammogram is due 15 February l have had to cancel the October one due to gynaecology surgery which became a much more involved procedure than expected 4 1/2 hours of surgery removing adhesions. It's taking a while to heal but I think it's nearly there. I have had lots of breast surgery due to duct exctasia dilated inflamed milk ducts, The reduction that took half the breast tissue to remove as much of the ducts as possible has been really good, it's solved the yearly trip to theatre having another duct removed. I hope you have your results soon and and a good result. Lots of biopsies show inflammation
