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

    may my appointment I could tell the atmosphere in the room changed I knew I was going to get a diagnosis at the back of my mind , they also asked me to bring someone with me to my appointment the following week so I prepared for bad news x 

  • I got that feeling too as the consultant was telling me that both lumps were suspicious for cancer but she can’t diagnose until the results are back. I’m preparing myself to be cancerous but can’t stop thinking what if it’s spread. I know I’m over thinking! Do you work? Did you take much time off of work? X

    Honestly, I worked right through I took one day each side for my operation that was it I never felt like I have even had cancer , my mindset was no way it’s getting me , I flew it if it’s bad news for you you will too , I had a few wobble days but it never stopped me doing anything as normal I kept everything the same sort of ignored it it worked for me x 

  • Tbhow you doing ? Any results back yet ? Hope all is well xx 

  • Hi Laraj,

    still not back but had a call from the nurse to say the lymph node result is back and is clear so no signs of spreading but she still thinks looking at the images that the breast lump is looking lik cancer but it’s early and hopefully will be removal and some radiotherapy but still not confirmed, have to wait till next Thursday!
