Awaiting result for Breast biopsy

Hi i'm not sure why i'm here or what to write really just hoping it makes me feel a little better getting it off my chest i guess... for months - about 2 years to be exact - i've had a rash on my areola. It started small and then slowly started getting bigger. Creams from the doctor would ease it but it would always come back. I got referred to the breast clinic but was told it was nothing and just 'eczema'. I went back to my gp 4 weeks ago and seen a different doctor - she was right away concerned and referred me back to the breast clinic and the next day i had a phone call and an appt for the following week. At my appt i was given an ultrasound and there was a '1.5cm cluster'. I was given antibiotics and told to come back in 2 weeks time. Went back on Thursday there and was rescanned and the cluster was larger in size and antibiotics done nothing so a biopsy was taken. He also mentioned thickening being larger too? I am absolutely terrified. I'm 31 with two young children and just recently married. I can't help but fear the worse. He said results will take 2 weeks but we'll be in Spain in 2 weeks time so i can't even look forward to our holiday anymore. Like i say no real point to this post it just seemed like a good place to come and leave my thoughts...

  • Hello KezzaB24

    I'm sorry to hear that you're waiting for breast biopsy results at the moment. I know how difficult this period of waiting can be for many people and if it's helped to put down in writing how you're feeling then do keep posting here on the forum. 

    The large majority of people who attend breast clinic aren't diagnosed with cancer but it's naturally a worrying time waiting for results. Sometimes it can help to chat things through with someone and I wonder if you might find it useful to speak with one of our nurses? I'm sure they will be happy to talk t things through with you and offer any advice and support that they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    This is sometimes easier to say than done but worrying won't change the outcome. It will however spoil your holiday so try to stay positive and enjoy your time away with your husband and the children. 

    Keep in touch Kezza and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
