Scared and lost - just had my appointment at the breast clinic. Consultant seemed concerned. Get results next week and fearing the worst.

Hello everyone  I am new to this and feeling scared .

I found a lump in my breast last week and have just come back from the breast clinic after my fast track appointment. 

Initially the consultant could feel the lump but the scan picked up a suspicious lump.. I have had a biopsy.  The consultant seemed concerned about the lump  . I  am fearing the worst  and I am in a bit of shock. I don't get the results until next Wednesday. I amnot sure what I a looking for but just need to share  this. As I am fearing the worst .

  • Hi I can’t help as waiting for my first appointment still so know nothing. I’m also new to this and absolutely petrified but I couldn’t not reach out. I really hope that everything goes ok for you. I just wanted to say you’re not alone and if you need to talk I’m here. Good luck and take care of yourself. Xx

  • Hi Poppy ,

    Thank you for replying  .I think it helps to know that we aren't alone. Is it your initial appointment at the breastic clinic?  The staff were absolutely lovely there . If there's anything you want to know please just ask. I am feeling calmer today and just trying to stay present and distract myself.

  • I had my app 2 weeks ago and had a biopsy. Awaiting the results which I'll be given via a telephone app next week. I thought I felt something, went to GP.who preferred me to the clinic as I've naturally lumpy boobs apparently. So went and I was sent for a mammogram and ultrasound which they discovered I've extremely dense boobs, so the consultant did a biopsy. She said she thinks it will come back as dense tissue but im terrified that I've got inflammatory breast cancer as my boob is sometimes itchy, has a red spot along the area of concern and I'm freaking out. 

    People I've spoken too said I'd have heard sooner if it were something sinister, and that they would bring me in rather than a phone call but I can't help worry. 

  • I'm in this predicament too and have come on here in search of some answers - I went with a lump felt on my right breast and on examination, they found another on my left. Scanned, mammogram and biopsied on both - The left, I'm not worried about but they took a long time getting samples from my right and have placed a titanium marker in that one - The Dr report states Lobulated which I'm scared about- (Left said Ovoid) - This waiting is killing me - Is it - No news is good news? I have an appointment for face to face booked for 25th April (4 weeks post biopsy) but this was booked in straight after the biopsy.  - Fingers crossed for you 

  • Hi Leelu 

    Try not to worry  as they think it's dense tissue. I know waiting is awful for any results. I have been told that mine is suspicious  and I have to go in for the results next week. They are quite honest about there thoughts and it sounds like they think it's just tissue in your case . I have been told mine looks suspicious due to shape. Try to distract yourself and keep busy. You aren't alone xxx

  • It really is so stressful worrying especially when we have access to the Internet. I'm terrified, I'm only 42 and have 2 kids who I'm not ready to leave. My aunt thinks I may need a marker as well, though I thought they'd have done it at the same time. 

    How are you feeling? Just know you're not alone lovely ️ 

  • I agree the waiting is the hardest  bit. Try to find things to focus on and keep you busy. . I feel a bit calmer today but was all over the place on Wednesday.  . You aren't alone with this xx

  • Try not to google as some of the information is not accurate  and you will just scare yourself silly. Just stick to the main sites. We were due to go on holiday abroad on Monday but have had to delay to get the results.  They will only do this in person.  . You aren't alone and tough tines in life pass  xxxx

  • I'll be glad to get next week over me. I've stuff going on in work as well that is causing me more stress than I need right now. I'm trying not to read or Google anything but I swear it's so hard to not do it. 

    That sucks that you're having to delay your holiday, hopefully you get good news and can relax on your holiday and let all this wash over you into the sea. I need to book something for whenever all this is over me. ️ ️

  • I know the waiting makes it seem like the longest week ever. .Can you speak to a line manager at work ? Sorry your having to deal with that . I am just trying  to keep myself busy xxx
