Biopsy

Hi, I found a lump about 3 weeks ago went to the doctors they said it was a cyst as it is painful but sent me for an ultrasound just to be on the safe side, I then went to the hospital and the go there felt the lump also said it felt like a cyst, I had the ultrasound was then sent for a mammogram then had a biospy. After all these test I guessed what they found wasn't a cyst. Saw the doctor there after all the test and as I was by myself I was quite scared by that point, the doctor then told me that what they found he is 90% sure its cancer then followed by saying that they have found it early and they it hasn't spread to my lymph nodes and it's very treatable. I have my follow up appointment next week and I'm just confused at how they can say this straight away without getting the results back. Am I being stupid that a small part of me is still hoping that the results come back clear. Or was that the doctor telling me I have cancer? 

Thank you

  • Hello lovely 

    I think they see certain characteristics and now if it’s cancer so they try to prepare you for the news , that’s exactly what happened to me a part of me prayed it was nonsense and surely they couldn’t tell me this without biopsy results I had my diagnosis in June 22 all over now like a bad dream , hand in heart it wasn’t that bad I sailed through it you are gunna be just fine I promise you 

    good luck all the best love Lara hete to help or chat xx 

  • Hello I went for a camera biopsy in my stomach on Tuesday he saw 3 growths two which he said was cancer asked my husband to come to a hospital bay where others were not allowed but he told me to get my husband in so he could talk to us he sent 5 biopsy’s of to be tested and said I needed a ct scan to see if it’s spred any where else how can he say this with out the results back from the biopsy 

  • Hi, I'm so sorry to hear this, I'm just guessing they see cancer all the time so they know what they are looking for, I'm also confused that I was told before the biospy result had me questioning myself if I had heard him properly, I don't get my result until next week. But I'm judging by the people that have wrote back to.me on here the result are going to show the same as he told me. Like I said a small part of me is still hoping he has got it wrong. 

    I wish you all the best and really hoping if you gave a ct scan that it hasn't spread anywhere else.
