So I went to my appt, the ultrasound showed an enlarged lymph node in my breast, I had to have a biopsy, now a week wait, I AM SO SCARED 

Hi [@pumpkin22]‍, a lymph node can be enlarged for many reasons, not only cancer. Did they biopsy your lump or lymph node or both?

I know it's worrying but you have done totally the right thing getting it checked x

They couldn't find a lump on the ultrasound just the swollen lymph node which they have done a biopsy on. I am crying constantly it is so scary, surely if they weren't worried they wouldn't have done a biopsy?! 

I wouldn't say they are worried, more that they are doing a thorough check. Did you show them where your lump was and they couldn't see it?

Enlarged lymph nodes on their own are just a sign your body is fighting infection somewhere or even an injury. 
 

I do have breast cancer and when I was diagnosed 3 weeks ago they scanned my lymph nodes and one was showing enlarged. They biopsied it but said that 1 lymph node doesn't concern them even if it shows cancer. Anyway, it came back clear and they rescanned it again and it had gone back to normal. They said it was just "one of those things"

I'm sure you will be fine. Waiting for results is always worrying. Just try and keep busy and not overthink it. Until you actually get your results, any fears you may have are just thoughts and not facts. Stay positive x

Hey, so sorry to hear you have breast cancer if you ever needs a chat feel free to message me. I did show them where I thought the lump was but on ultrasound it didn't show up, so must be tissue. I'm hoping the one enlarged lymph node is nothing serious. Thankyou for your help x
