Hello,
A few weeks ago I felt a tiny hard lump in my left breast and didnt think much of it but my partner made me go to the GP. I went fully expecting to be nothing but the said he thought it was a fibroadenoma and I should get it checked out at the breast clinic.
The consultant at the breast clinic seemed initailly positive and said he thought it was likely nothing of concern. He sent me for an ultrasound and the radiographer seemed to be a bit less positive. She sent me for a mamogram but nothing came up i think due to my age) and she took 3 samples from a core biopsy (the lump is 8mm). The Consultant was lovely and had a chat with me afterwards but he said he thought regardless of the results I would probably be looking at surgery but we would wait and see what my results come back with. I have an appointment to see him again a week today and the waiting is so hard. I am due to get married next month (already been postponed due to COVID last year) and he had asked me about dates etc which is making me worried that they have been able to tell something from the ultrasound.
One minute I am completely fine thinking that I am being dramatic and it is most likely a harmless fibroadenoma and the next I am at the other ending of the spectrum googling the effects of breast cancer treatment on fertility. The thought of another 7 days of this is driving me mad.
Do you think it's possible for the radiographer to know just from an ultrasound whether a lump is malignant?
