Hi, just wanted to see if anyone has had a similar experience to me.
8 months ago I found a small lump in my breast, I went straight to my GP and was sent to the breast clinic. I was given an ultrasound and told it was a fibroadenoma and due to my age (28) they didn’t feel a need to biopsy it. Fast forward to a month ago and I noticed that I had 2 raised lymph nodes in my armpit on the same side as the lump in my breast. I went back to the GP who sent me back to the breast clinic. I was given another ultrasound and a biopsy of the breast lump and lymph nodes, 4 biopsies in total. I asked the radiologist, the same lady who had previously told me it was a fibroadenoma, if she still thought it was this, she seemed concerned and told me the lump had completely changed and had it looked like this 8 months ago she would have biopsied it. I started to panic and asked if it was cancer, to which she asked if I had anyone here with me, which of course made me panic more. She also said the lymph nodes are showing as being slightly thickened which can be a sign of cancer. I was in a state of shock and can’t remember a lot of the appointment after this. I have had a 2 week wait and am due to receive my results in person in a few days. I’ve also been sent for an MRI and CT scan during this wait.
I'm panicking that they’ve asked me to have these scans because they believe it’s cancer and that not everyone who has a biopsy seems to be sent for these before results?
I’ve stupidly been endlessly googling things to try and reassure myself but unfortunately all this has done is convince me it’s definitely cancer, I’ve been in a constant state of anxiety for the last 2 weeks and feel sick at the thought of being told I have cancer when I go back.
I also feel so angry at being dismissed due to my age the first time as at least 8 months ago if a biopsy showed cancer cells it would likely have been easier to treat.
Has any one been in the same position with raised lymph nodes and had benign result after biopsy?
