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? 

  • I’ve got my appointment on Friday. I think the fact they said it looks suspicious makes me think it will be a diagnosis. I just hope its a low grade. Thanks for chatting to me, it really helps talking to someone that’s been through it. Do you worry constantly about it coming back? x
