Hi everyone,

I found a lump well over a month ago now and went to the GP, who said its most likely a Fibroadenoma due to my age (26) and being low risk. They referred me to get an Ultrasound just to check but said I have nothing to worry about. I waited for the appointment to find out, although the GP completed the referral it hadn't been sent when I'd chased it up! So I only just had my appointment last week so the delay made me a little anxious. 

I went in and once again got told it's nothing to worry about due to my age. No where at this point did they say they might need to do further tests after the ultrasound if they weren't sure- I know it's probably obvious but I just wish they'd have mentioned it. They even said I would find out the results that day and go home, so at this point I felt a bit more at ease. However, when I went in to have the ultrasound, she then says they want to check further as it looks bumpy and described it as looking like a cloud, so I had to have a biopsy.This really increased my worry but again they kept giving me the same speech about my age and even sent me home with a leaflet on Fibroadenomas.

I know I am overthinking now and I should be grateful I am young and lower risk, but I'm starting to get a bit annoyed at being told 'You're young, it's fine' rather than being told of any possibilities. It's led to me googling the -possibilities myself and getting more anxious. I keep thinking -well if there really is nothing to worry about and they're as confident it's just a Fibroadenoma as they say they are, why did they have to do the biopsy!? I know its better they check but I'd rather them still address that there is a possibility its not a Fibroadenoma, which there clearly still is if they had to test it further! 

I'm not sure if anyone else had similar experiences, I know i'm probably thinking irrationally. And if anyone found anything to help take their mind off things whilst waiting because I am really struggling every time im alone or not as busy and my mind wanders.
