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

  • Today not so well, been tearful and just full of anxiety. I have been so tired since Monday, I could just drop off to sleep. You will get some answers tomorrow, though I know you will be so anxious about what they say. The news could still be positive, hold on to that hope xxx 

  • I feel exact same as you just described. I just had a nap with my 2 year old.. anxiety can make you feel that way. Do you have a lump too? Its nice to chat to someone. I have people around me for support but i feel a bit lonely too xx

  • Yes I do in my left boob. I don’t know much about it as didn’t ask but they did an ultrasound and said it’s solid so I had a biopsy Monday. I have an appointment the week after next to get results. It’s lovely you have support around you, I do too however no one really understands as they are not going through it in the same way xxx

  • Did you get your ultrasound report back? Mine says its 2cm with a subtle ridge nodularity.. im trying to be positive just with how its described! I have even obsessed over googling subtle used in medical terms. Its the wait isnt it.. i want tomorrow over with but also dreading it at the same time. I just want to go in and i want positvity with whats going to happen etc and get rid of it. I would not wish this on my worse enemy. We have to get through it for our daughters. My 2 year old sets me off all time.. saying she loves me etc. Its so hard. X

  • I have tried so hard to stay away from google, but yours sounds very small which surely is a good thing? Mine looked big and was sort of coming from behind my nipple. To touch it I could feel it just above my nipple and slightly to the side. 

    I haven’t had a report yet although it may be a good thing as I’d be googling it. I went private for mine, and previous to this I was at the breast clinic in May due to pain in my other breast. They didn’t see anything on the scans but I never really felt reassured. 

    My daughter is 16 and understands everything, we are best friends and she is so scared, it breaks my heart to see her get upset. I can understand why you are getting upset too,especially when our minds travel to dark places xxx

  • Mine is the upper breast. I have just read yours i have also 2 biopsies taken. They did a small cut in mine and did a vacuum biopsy which cuts off a piece of the lump and then a biopsy near it i think that was just the standard needle one. 

    Honestly its awful! Luckily my girl dont know that worry.. she knows something is going off because she is out of routine at mo as i am staying at my parents house. If it is what it is i just want them both off no messing about i dont even care about having no breasts! If they dont do it my mum is taking me private she says. We will see what happens. 

    I spoken to my GP about anxiety and he gave me some tablets called phenergan it helps the nervous system and its been helping me feel more relaxed. You can buy them over counter too but will have to go to different chemists to get each time. Make sure they dont interact if you are on medication. Here to chat. We can help each other. X

  • It sounds like they were so thorough with yours which is amazing! Did you have to wait long to be seen after finding the lump? I wonder why they only did a core biopsy with mine, I really don’t know much about it all although I was expecting a biopsy I was still so upset and them saying solid added to my anxiety, I was just laying there shaking.  

    We can definitely support each other, it makes you feel less alone when speaking to someone going through the same - although I wish we weren’t xxx

  • I was waiting around 2 week as my gp did refer me which is standard now with breast lumps etc. Did the constultant say anything afterwards? They just told me to expect it being that.. i wont use the word was quite a shock i burst into tears.. i have it in my head its that now which i think that was the whole point of her saying it.. so its a bonus if it is benign. Not had any other symptoms of anything either. 

    I was not expecting one either i just laid there and cried.. its awful.. i wish we was not going through this too. The ' why me' as been going through my head too.. along with feeling a bit angry about it and sadness. So grateful my mum is here to watch my toddler she is so full on. She has been so naughty too like she knows something is happening. Keeps me on my toes though this one! Where are you from? Im from Barnsley south yorkshire. X

  • Aww she sounds a little cheeky one and a fantastic distraction, although it’s lovely your mum is there to help as all this emotion definitely takes it out of you. 

    There are stories where people have been told the same as you and had positive news so you never know and they don’t know until they get the results. 

    My dr said it could be benign but they won’t know until after the biopsy, but many have been told that too and ended up with a scary outcome.

  • Hi GL91. I totally understand the 'why me". It was one of my main thoughts too. Buy it's wained over time and I'm focusing on getting through one step at a time.   

    Work hsd paid for counselling for me and I have to say it really has helped. I can definitely recommend it.
