Hi lofty 

sorry you are here , some consultants give indications others don’t there is no way of 100 percent knowing until results are back , I was told mine looked suspicious and a week later it was confirmed my best friend had BC same time as me but she wasn’t told that anything was suspicious and also had a diagnosis xx good luck and have a great birthday xx 

Sorry to hear that laraj Yhankyou. It is definitely the wait that’s hard. Last time round it all felt more positive and they said we’re confident it’s not anything sinister and we’re doing the biopsy to confirm this. This time is different and it didn’t feel that way. They even talked about malignancy and cancer this time. They did say the probability is its benign but as it looks suspicious and there’s a chance of malignancy they need to look at it under the microscope. 
last time they also said we think it’s a hardened cyst or fibroadenoma, so I said this and they said possibly but let’s get your results and take it from there.

I know the feeling I have may not mean anything but the way they were treating me was very different from entering the clinic to leaving and during the second ultrasound the doctor changed the picture to infrared. This definitely didn’t happen first time round. Does anyone know what this is for? There was lots of red over the picture. 

thankyoi xx

yes that wait for me was horrendous, probably the worst part of my journey once I knew it was sort of ok let’s get rid of this , I’m now one year on and doing absolutely amazing it wasn’t that bad in all honestly , the only thing was I felt like I was on stop no holidays ect I had my first annual check in July all ckear let’s hope it stays this way xx 

good luck when do you get results loveky ? 

Hi Lara. I’ve seen quite a few of you lovely people say how once you got your actual diagnosis, although it wasn’t the answer you wanted, you still felt better (i hope you know what I mean). 

I get my results on 26th. I did call the clinic yesterday as a friend persuaded me. I came away feeling worse than when I went in with no answers to any questions I had. Such as what was actually seen on the ultrasound and mammogram. I was met with 2 areas of concern and if I asked questions it was shrugs of the shoulders and let’s see when we get the biopsy results. They did say they were unsure if benign or malignant but probably benign. 

The nurse couldn’t tell me what was seen but did tell me as they’d booked a telephone call on 26th they must be more towards benign. She said they do still get malignancies even though they think benign and in that case I would get a call to ask me to come in. 

it has helped and last night I slept better. So glad you’ve been given the all clear. You’ve smashed it Lara

Thanks Lara. I know there’s still a chance but I do feel better for it. Just need to keep everything crossed. Xx
