Just come back from breast clinic… not sure what it all mean

Hi

Ok so initially on examination they were concerned about one of the lumps, had USS and looks ok although wasn’t too happy as she missed the lump completely until in said where it was

She couldn’t see anything on the scan re nipple but you can defo feel something

They got a 2nd opinion re examination and he said he doesn’t think there is anything sinister but he can’t be sure… he is not sure what is going on with the nipple lump, not sure what it is…he didn’t want to take a biopsy as it is too small

On top of breast where other feature was concerning again, he is not too sure what it is ? Maybe dense ? Lipoma

He kept saying got super dense breast/glandular tissue 

Wants me to come back in 6-8 weeks… see if any further changes as he can’t be 100% this isn’t something but he doesn’t want to biopsy right now as wants to see if has changed in 6-8 weeks of progressed and have further imaging 

I am not going to lie I feel like in limbo and strong family history (there going to refer to me to genetics) 

I have taken some positives but don’t exactly feel ‘happy’ especially as I was told previously by breast surgeon if have dense breast tissue uss not great and MRI breast is better, 

So in summary I have no clue what’s going on! Xxx

  • Hello Priesto1987 and a warm welcome to Cancer Chat, 

    Poor you, that's a lot of uncertainty to have to deal with and having to wait another 6-8 weeks to see if there have been any changes is by no means easy. I can understand why you would want to have answers quickly. 

    It sounds like they are not keen on doing a biopsy straight away so all you can do really is wait and see how things progress but I can imagine this has made you feel like you are limbo. Perhaps it might be worth getting in touch with the breast surgeon who gave you that advice previously and talking things through with them? Or perhaps you could simply give your GP a call? It sounds like it would be helpful while you are waiting all these weeks to talk to someone and seek some reassurance that this is the right course of action to follow at this stage. 

    I keep everything crossed for you that you get some answers soon and find out what is going on. 

    Hopefully other members of our community will have been in a similar place before and they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Best wishes,
