Waiting Biopsy results

Hi everyone

Very new to this site.. it's currently 4:42am and im laid in bed with my mind racing. 

I had a sharp burning pain a few week ago coming from my upper outer breast area which made me have a feel around.. i found a lump straight away from the same area. I went to my GP as soon as i got back from my Holiday and got reffered for 2 week wait. I went to my appointment yesterday and i had ultrasound test to which then turned into a mammagram and biopsy.. she did two areas where the lump is and just abover under my armpit.

I then saw the consultant who was not positive at all and told me to start thinking of the worse.

Im 33 years old with a 2 year old and not handling it very good at all. Please can someone talk to me.. give me positive stories or breast cancer.

Or did this similar situation ever happen to anyone before and the results turned out benign? Im thinking of my daughter more than anything, she needs her mummy.

Thank you for taking your time to reply.x

  • Hi GL91. 
    A very warm welcome to our forum. I am sorry to hear of the situation you currently find yourself in. Waiting for results is one of the hardest time of our cancer journeys. Unfortunately, it is impossible to determine how your results will turn out. I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer, where the results were not favourable, but I have also had benign results , with similar symptoms. 
    it is only natural that you worry for your daughter at this stage -we all do. I had my 2 bouts within a year of each other and feared that I might never live to witness my 2 children reach their milestones. However, that was all 14 years ago now and in that time, I have seen them leave school, go to university, graduate, find gainful employment, marry and provide me with 2 beautiful granddaughters.

    Cancer treatments have come a long way in recent years. They can be a challenge, but they are “doable” and whatever the outcome, you will get through this.

    Have you been told when to expect your results? I hope that they come through soon. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Keeping my fingers crossed for good news.

    Kind regards,

  • I have an appointment for this coming thursday.. thank you for your positive story! I really need to hear these positive stories. The waiting is truly the worse! I mean i am dreading thursday but also just want to crack on with it all treatment etc if it is that. 

    On my letter i recieved it says its a 2cm with subtle nodularity ridge- it does not mention any other findings. I had mammagrams and ultrasounds also. 

    Thank you so so much! Xx

  • Hi GL91,

    I am delighted to hear that it's not long now, until your appointment. Believe it or not, irrespective of the outcome, you will feel better once you know the results. Here's hoping that, if it is cancer, you have caught it early. Don't worry about the crying. This is common at this stage and shedding those tears is a great stress reliever. Please let us know how you fare on Thursday.

    Kind regards,
