Waiting for breast biopsy results- Wait is driving me crazy

Hi everyone, 

I found a breast lump 2 weeks ago and have since had my breast clinic appointment 3 days ago in which i had an ultrasound and biopsy. They have said it could be 2-3 weeks for the wait which as the days go by i am finding it harder and harder. Im 27 and honestly thought that they would just say it is a cyst so was a bit thrown when i had to have the biopsy. I will have the results in a letter in which it will either state i have an appointment (which most likely will mean not good news the consultant said) or it will state what the lump is. Im petrified now to receive the letter and would rather just know, whether good or bad, at least then i can just deal with it. 

Sorry to ramble it is just hard to speak to family/friends if they havent been through this as i dont want to seem negative all the time 

  • Thank you lovely and everyone! This forum has been so nice to be able to share and voice concerns with others who understand and are going through a similar situation and understand th agony of waiting, really appreciate it.

    I know it will be fine tomorrow, but will update you on how it goes! Xx

  • Hello Paige 

    I wanted to check in on you and see how you doing? I got a letter today confirming Firbrodema and it said on there it was after a MDT Meeting, which I think they had on Tuesday.  So I think if they had your meeting today you should get an update in a couple of days, although I'm aware all hospitals work differently. 

    Sending you lots of positive hugs

  • Hi Bear, 

    I have just spoke to secretary and she has confirmed it is a fibroadenoma and no follow up needed so I am very happy

    Thank you for asking x

  • Hi Paige,

     

    That's great news! Glad you don't have to wait any longer and can rest easy with those results!

  • Yes I'm so happy to have an answer, it has been longest few weeks of my life!! 

    Fingers crossed for you! Let us know how you get on x

  • Thats fantastic news!!! 

    So happy for you Paige 

    Now you can relax 

    Takecare of yourself x 

  • So the biopsy confirmed it's definitely not a fibroadenoma. They suspect it's a papilloma. Samples  came back clear (not malignant) however because it's a papilloma and a small number of cases can develop into something more serious, they want to remove the whole thing asap to analyse the rest of it to check for any atypical hyperplasia. He said the samples taken were very small compared the rest of the lump 3.8, song e can't be confident the rest of it will also be benign unless this remove all of it to check. It will mean removing a large portion of my milk ducts and they said there's a high chance I wont be able to breastfeed from that breast.

     
    So it's definitely not the worst news, but I can't lie ladies, I am a bit gutted. Surgery is at the end of this month. Until then im just going to try and get used to the idea of not being able to breastfeeding from that side. Then try and leave the underlying worry about whether the papilloma isn't something more sisnister until after surgery.

    sorry to hear your news 

    yes it's better that they are doing the checks as biopsy alone on this doesn't give a clear picture it's only after the operation that they can be certain but you are halfway there now better to have the operation and get yourself back to normal life .

    good luck for the operation take care 

    love Lara ️
