is it standard practice for all fibroadenomas in 30s+ to be biopsied? my head was spinning yesterday 

I had a biopsy on Tuesday last week for a very similar sounding lump. This shocked me as well. They said all the same things to me as you, it’s uncanny. I ended up here as they said they might ring me and tell me results. My follow up appointment is on Tuesday and I still haven’t had a phone call. So obviously starting to worry. I am 42 so a little older than you. Hope all goes well for you. 

do you have an in person appointment too? the consultant was going to give me one till I panicked and asked why then she said she'd call me instead as soon as the results were in ornone of her team would. gave me a leaflet on fibroadenomas, told me to come back if it grew and not to worry. I wad bit dazed!

just to add the consultant said my lump was very mobile which was a good sign so the first nurse's note was wrong. just need the good result quickly now! thanks for the reply and hope you're ok x

My consultant gave me an in person appointment just incase I “fall through the cracks” but she thought she would be calling me before that. I was a bit shocked as I wasn’t expecting to have a biopsy. They said they thought it was a fibroadenoma but they always biopsy as they occasionally get a surprise but they thought it would be fine. 
I never got the leaflet, I just googled

No probs, nice to talk to someone in the same boat! Fingers crossed for both of us!  :)

that makes sense and sounds reassuring.

years ago I had a biopsy for skin cancer which they thought was benign and it was. I still ended up with 14 stitches in each leg and 2 big wounds so guess they are just very thorough!

How did you get on today? hope alls OK x

Hi shiv, it wasn’t good. I have cancer, which was a massive shock, it’s stage 1, oestrogen driven and I haven’t got the gene. Should need a lumpectomy and radiotherapy. They say they got it really e ly and can’t belive I could feel it. Juts in shock. My son got diagnosed with lymphoma in June so this isn’t my first cancer rodeo. Just in shock that all this could happen in a year!

oh god, I wasn't expecting that. I'm so sorry. 

I know someone who's son has just got the all clear from lymphoma. Obviously scary but doing great now.

I know this is awful timing for you but I'm so glad it's caught so early. I hope treatment is so smooth for you. Thinking of you and sending so much love xx

I know, me either! My husband I think thought it might happen as he couldn’t eat and felt sick. I am hoping in 6 months I will look back and think of this as a bloody nightmare! But be glad I found my lump early. My son is doing amazing but the treatment is hard. He’s should be past the worst of it by end of January. Xx

when are your results? 

I think you will be in 6 months time! I'm glad to hear your son is coping so well and hope the rest of his recovery gets easier.

I checked with the secretary today and the results weren't back. I've no idea what to think really. The private dr initially thought there were no concerns for my first ultrasound and recommended the nhs appointment for the "2%" check of needle biopsy. I hope in worse case things are found early too.

I hope you get your treatment plan soon and cope well. It must have been one hell of a shock today xx

Ye it’s been a shock, but just have to get on with it now. Hope everything goes well for you, :)

thank you. sending lots of hugs your way xx

Thank you, let me know how you get on on here and will make sure to check this :)

thank you I will do.xx
