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. 

  • Thanks Jolamine, you have really helped me put things into perspective. I just need to work hard and keep my mind away from those dark places. I’ve been in touch with my GP as well to get some help as I’m not sleeping or eating and I have another 10 days to go before my results appointment.  I’m staying well away from Google as well as that does no good!

    I will keep you posted with how things go xx

  • Hi there , what you are feeling is absolutely normal . It’s an awful time and I empathise with you. Your emotions will be all over the place . All I can say is try and go out everyday , go walking , shopping , just keep busy . I really hope that you’ll be okay . 

  • Hi Jane,

    That's how many of us come across the forum. It really is very supportive and many of us find it easier to talk to strangers, who've been there, than to family and friends, who are floundering too. Certainly steer clear of Google - it will only serve to scare you more.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

  • No doctor should say what he thinks it is before results are back from a biopsy. That is so wrong. One doctor said to me, something like, we have to be careful with words, but it looks suspicious; that;s fair enough. It is a long time the waiting. Talking on here is less difficult, I think, than with other people face to face. Keep talking here and we'll support each other.

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

  • Hello Jolene. I’m sorry you are going through this. Hopefully when you get your treatment plan you will be able to move forward to recovery. 

  • 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 

  • Jane 

    good luck for your appointment xx love Lara xx

  • Chelbel 

    good luck lovely xx. 

  • I’m hoping for my appointment this week. I’m so scared the lump is pretty big and quite hard albeit moveable but I just have a terrible feeling about this and keep thinking I’m going to die. I’m in such h a bad place.
