Hi! 

Hoping someone has a similar experience they could maybe offer some support on. I had a previous lump removed in November on my left breast, it was a fatty lump which was confirmed via ultrasound. I recently found another on my right breast, so booked in with the clinic for review. It was a bit of a whirlwind as the consultant said he wasn’t overly worried but the second a needle was mentioned I think I just panicked. Anyway, I got a core needle biopsy and a marker, then I had a mammogram which at 31 I wasn’t expecting for a good few years yet! 

I spoke with my consultant today as I felt I really blacked out and was frustrated I couldn’t remember anything. In the process I’ve really worked myself up to the point of a panic attack. Anyway, the consultant phoned and said he wasn’t overly concerned however as it was very small (1cm) it was difficult through both the physical and ultrasound to define what it was. The radiographer identified a few edges “jutting” out, confirming it isn’t as nice and smooth as they’d wish, hence the added need for a biopsy to tell what exactly it is. When I spoke to him I basically tried to round up all he said which was “not overly concerned but have to carry out the tests to be sure of what it is” to which he said was a great and fair description. Obviously as I’m so anxious I’m now hanging on to the fact it’s not majorly concerning, but still concerning? 

He said worse case scenario would be a very simple treatment plan given my age, the size etc, but that’s worse case as I asked for each option essentially (stil focusing on the negatives)

Has anyone had anything similar where they’ve had a biopsy / a lump they can’t determine and it’s actually been ok? I won’t lie I’m absolutely beside myself with worry and I’ve aligned myself for the worst when I really don’t want too. Results are due next Thursday while I’ll be on a ski holiday, which further adds to my sadness as I’ve so looked forward to this week away!
