Breast Biopsy - Worried Sick

Hi everyone,

I’m 38 and found a firm area of tissue in my breast just above my nipple and stupidly put it off thinking it was nothing but eventually decided to get it checked. My GP didn’t seem overly concerned but referred me to the breast clinic to get it checked. I had a mammogram and ultrasound yesterday and they confirmed a lump so took a biopsy. They said my lymph nodes looked clear which was positive but the lump was suspicious. I’m absolutely beside myself with worry especially as they said it does look suspicious. If there was any chance that it is benign would they have given me some reassurance? Has anyone been told it looks bad but then its not been?

  • Hi Bex, I'm so sorry I can't help but just wanted to say that there are a lot of suspicious lumps on the breast that turn out to be nothing and I've seen a few posts where they were told things looked suspicious but turned out to be benign. Easier said than done but try to focus on keeping an open mind. Do you know roughly when you'll get the biopsy results? X
