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 Jolene,

    Thank you for the update. I am so sorry to hear of your results. No matter how well prepared you think you are for bad news, it still comes as a terrible shock. Although this is not the news that you wanted to hear, you should feel better able to cope, now that you have had the diagnosis and you know what lies ahead of you. So, surgery, radiotherapy and hormone therapy - all very "do-able". I know that this can change with pathology results, but here's hoping that they don't. It's good to hear that you don't have long to wait for your lumpectomy.

    I am glad to hear that you are feeling really positive about it all - the more positive you are, the better you'll cope with it all. Like Laraj, this time next year, it will all be behind you. I'm afraid that the rollercoaster will continue for a while, but as you know, we are always here for you.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on along your journey.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
