Just want to hear some positive stories I'm terrified waiting

HI sarah sorry i don't have personal experience of this but know of others who were given the all clear. I believe around 70-80% of lumps are benign, even more if you are young and under 40, and they are typically just tissue growths which occur naturally. I think they are even relatively common and nearly every other woman will experience them at some point. Please stay off google and try to keep a positive mindframe. I know it can be hard but stay strong and you and your family will get through this together.
I was in and out of my local breast clinic for 5 years with quite a few lumps and breast pain and each time they were absolutely nothing, just fluid filled cysts. This is very unlikely to be anything sinister but you are doing the right thing getting checked. The fear and worry is horrible but try to stay busy. There is every chance it will be fine.
I did get diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer this year which is why I look in on here from time to time but that is NOT related in any way to the cysts. In fact I'm glad I had them as my BC was picked up a year earlier whilst I got a cyst checked, as my mammogram wasn't due.
Good luck,
Mary
