Awaiting breast biopsy

Hi, I was referred to the breast clinic by my GP after I went to get my boobs checked as I thought my nipples had changed slightly.  She referred me on a 2ww suspected cancer referral which freaked me out to start with!  I went to the clinic this week & had various examinations, mammograms & an ultrasound.  The consultant has said I have a 5mm R2/R3 on my right breast & that my original reason for going was actually not a concern!  I have no discomfort & no other symptoms other than I thought my nipple had gone flat! 

I’ve now been told I need a vacuum excision biopsy & am now waiting for a date for this.  Needless to say I am massively stressed, can think of nothing else & am continuously googling.  I know that the biopsy is to check for anything nasty but I am just so anxious about what this might show.  I guess I’m just looking for any suggestions on how to deal with this situation, I’m normally a really strong person but this has floored me a bit xx 

  • Hi

    I wish I had some magic advice but I just wanted to say, I'm in the same position as you. Found a lump in December, 2ww referral and had 2 mammograms and 2 ultrasounds and a mri. I'm now booked for a biopsy on Wednesday and I'm on this site as I'm so worried. I actually feel like I'll be better once I know even if it is cancer. It's the not knowing that's the worst!. Try to keep busy, I hope everything turns out okay, do update when you find out as it really helps to see other stories. Xx
