Hello. I went to the gp back in December as I thought I could feel a lump and was experiencing tenderness. The gp couldn’t feel anything. Fast forward a couple months can now feel it. Got booked in with gp and saw her today. She felt the lump straight away and referred me urgently to breast clinic. My appointment is on the 14th I’m absolutely petrified at the thought of having a biopsy if I have too…I’m needle phobic and the thought of pain or discomfort makes me faint. I’m hoping the ultrasound will be benign but is it common practice for them to do a biopsy as part of the clinic appointment. I’m really worried.
