Waiting results - breast biopsy

This is very new to me , l wanted to say thank you to everyone who is posting there journeys on here. I started my journey on Monday, l went to the breast clinic after being referred by doctor. The morning was long and had two mammograms one 2D then one 3D, followed by a ultrasound. The news is that they are concerned and have taken a biopsy, also implanted magnetic bit of metal in the lump, they said just in case of surgery , l am in a bit of shock to be fair. I suffer with cysts for a long time and just thought it was that. My family and work colleagues are being incredibly supportive and to be fair l am doing okay, a few tears come and go. Jill the amazing lady who went through everything said that the lump is very small, they have scanned under by armpit to my lymph nodes and there isn’t anything there, l am feeling positive and on Monday l will find out, if it is Cancer Jill says it is very early and will be treated. The waiting is hard !!

  • Hello, I too am very new to all this. Your journey mirrors mine exactly so far. I had all the same tests done yesterday, which was a call back appointment following my first ever routine screening. I’ve already been told it is probable to be cancer. I’ve only known this since yesterday, so am still in complete shock and trying to process this news with my family. I am asymptomatic, so would never have ever known until it had progressed further. Now I will need to wait until a week Wednesday to get the results of the biopsy to confirm. The good news is that they said it’s been picked in its very early stage. So screening really does really make a difference. I feel like my life is on hold at the moment, it’s very hard. I have to say though, the care that I received from the staff at the NHS breast unit I attended was amazing and that has really helped. I am also very lucky to have family around me for support.

    This is exactly like me,  it is a journey that l never really thought l would be on. The waiting is so hard, l have been focused and staying positive too, they said it is 75% chance and it is very early. I am so grateful for the support in this forum, and like you said the breast cancer screening team . 
    Take care, thank you for your message. 
    Please let me know how you are on Wednesday and what your plan is.

    I’ve been told that it’s an 80% chance, so again it’s very similar. Please do let me know how you get on for Monday and I shall do the same for mine, although it is still is a way off (29th). Thank you and take care too x.
