Waiting in biopsy been told highly suspicious

Hi everyone,

I am going out of my mind with worry. I found a lump and mass in my breaat last month. I was referred to the breast clinic and had a one stop appointment last Monday. I have an ultrasound first where they found another lump and "worrying areas". I then had a mammogram and 3 biopsies. I had the titanium clips put in then another mammogram. 

I have been toldthr imagines are highly suspicious of a breast cancer. They are reviewing my biopsy results on Wednesday. I am petrified. I have 3 small children and I just  cant stop crying.

Not sure what advise I'm looking for, I just needed to write it down I guess

    Hi Louxioux,

    I agree totally with what Kiera has said. Waiting for results is a terribly stressful time and tears are never far away. I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the past 12 years, plus a few scares. On three occasions my consultant was pretty sure that I had cancer. After biopsy, this turned out to be only 2. I still manage to live a busy and fulfilling life, despite all this. It is perfectly normal to get clips inserted. This helps to locate the problem area for further investigations, or during surgery. Breast cancer is one of the most treatable forms of cancer these days.

    We always advise people not to google until they know what they are dealing with. There are many different types of breast cancer and it is impossible to differentiate between them until the result of your biopsy comes back. In the meanwhile, you’ll only scare yourself further and serve no useful purpose.

    I do hope that all turns out well for you on Wednesday. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

  • Hi Jolamine, thank you forbyour reply. I cant imagine how scary it must be having to through this a number of times. So glad to hear you have been living a nearly normal life, this is so important to me as my children are still so little. 

    I am going to try and stay off Google today, I know its not helping or going to change the situation.

    They will be reviewing my results tomorrow.. my anxiety is through the roof, I am petrified. I just hope that if it does turn out to be the dreaded word then there will be treatments for it.  

    I am glad I have found this little community. It really helps to speak to people who know exactly how you're feeling. 

  • Good morning all. 

    I am new to this site, I joined this morning. It's a fantastic group. 

    I have had problems with my left axillia and lumpbon my left breast off and on now since 2015. I finally had a ultrasound scan last Wednesday, followed then by a mammogram and 2 biopsies. I too was told it's looking serious and is looking very much like cancer. 

    I have been beside my self with worry and suffer from anxiety badly. I am not sleeping very well. I have a 10yr old son. He has been extremely supportive. 

    I have to go back to the clinic tomorrow go get my biopsie results. I am beside myself with worry. 

    Did anyone else get told on day on biopsies that it a looking serious? 

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Many thanks

    Hi Louxloux,

    Irrespective of the outcome tomorrow, you will feel better, because you will know what you are dealing with. One in two people have cancer, so this in itself is proof that there is life after diagnosis. Iit does turn out to be cancer, here's hoping that it's one of the less aggressive types.

    Keep my fingers crossed for you!

    Kind regards,

    If you read back on this thread you will find some good advice from Kiera and ProfBaw. We have all been in the same situation and know just how scary the wait can be. Whatever the outcome, you will find it easier to deal with once you know what you are dealing with.

    Please let us know how you get on tomorrow. I shall be thinking of you and hoping and praying for good results.
