Breast lump and biopsy

Hi, I found a lump recently and was referred to breast clinic for further testing. I had mammogram, ultrasound then biopsy’s taken. They found a few lumps but were happy they were fribroadenomas apart from one. When I was called back in to speak to consultant he said this one was highly suspicious and he basically made out it was cancer without actually confirming.He did say it was small lump.  I need to go back in 2 weeks for my biopsy results but this waiting is absolutely killing me emotionally. I am prepared for official diagnosis but I keep thinking the absolute worst and any twinge or pain is making me feel like it’s cancer that’s spread etc. Is this normal or is my body trying to tell me something? If anyone has any tips on how to get through this next 2 weeks waiting on results? I am crying on and off, I cant go out and I don’t want to speak to people as I keep getting upset about it.

  • Hi, I can't offer any advice really but wanted to say you're not on your own and I feel a lot like you describe.

    I found quite a big lump and saw my GP a couple of days ago, from her reaction I could tell she thought it was pretty serious. I'm waiting for my clinic appointment to come through. Like you I keep feeling twinges in the area of the lump and I'm paranoid that it's my body telling me something. Logically I know it's probably just that I'm paying attention to it where I wasn't before.

    The waiting is really difficult. I'm trying to keep myself busy, stay positive, keep things in perspective etc but it's not easy. I've been tearful too.

    Can't really give you any advice but I guess we both just have to hang in there. Sometimes all you can do is put one foot in front of the other. Sending you all my best wishes x

  • Hello  I am on the same boat as you. Found a large lump and now I’m terrified 

  • Hi Chelbel, so sorry you are going through this too. Have you been referred to the breast clinic? My appointment came through within a few days and it's on the 31st July. The waiting is horrible and all you can do is keep busy. I've been up and down with it. You're not on your own and you're in the right place for support here. How are you feeling? Big hugs xxx

    good luck for your appointment xx love Lara xx
