Suspicious breast lump

Hi all, I found a lump in left breast 3 weeks ago have since been to breast clinic where I had a mammogram and then an ultrasound sound to which they found another lump (swollen lymph node) in the armpit. Had biopsies done and consultant has said they are both suspicious. Have waited a week so far and the suspense is killing me, feel like a lost sheep and my emotions are going wild. I have 3 children and I’m 42. Just wanted to to see if anyone in the same position that wants to talk? Going to chase up the breast nurse tomorrow so see if my results are back. The fact they have said they are suspicious does that mean they most likely will be?

thanks

  • Hi Tb, I’m so sorry to read this but like Lara says, so many do turn out to be clear too. Can I ask where the lymph node swelling is ? Is it in the armpit or side of breast etc. I’m awaiting my appointment for a lump near to the nipple and a second small one. The GP also found another hard one. Just curious where the lymph node one is. 

    sending hugs xx

  • Hi lofty,

    it’s in the armpit but I ant feel it myself it was picked up on the ultra sound. Sorry to hear you’re in the same scenario. It’s horrible waiting isn’t it. Have you had monogram yet? X

  • My appointment is 17th, 13 days from gp appointment. I found a lump in January and after an ultrasound (I’m 39) FNA and core biopsy as it was a solid lump, they said it was a benign fibroadenoma. Around 6 weeks ago I noticed another lump in my other breast. Left it and after 4 weeks it was still there. Then noticed a smaller 2nd one on the outside upper part of same breast. I wondered if this was a smaller one or maybe a lymph node I was feeling. That’s why I asked the question to you. Went to gp and she found another hard lump at the top. 

    at the appointment I will be 10 days of 40 so unsure if it would be a mammogram or ultrasound like last time. 

    I’m so sorry they’ve said it’s suspicious. It is the waiting that’s rubbish. I’ve read so many stories on here where it’s turned out ok or even when it’s not, the patient feels better once they have the full facts. 
    sending you lots of positive vibes xx

  • Hi Lofty hope you are doing well. I just wanted to hear if they suspected your fibroadenoma was suspicious or did they have an idea it could have been benign? I’m 39 too and have a solid lump sort of just above my nipple in the centre of my breast. Absolutely petrified as they said it looks suspicious. xx
