Hi I'm needing some reassurance with what the next steps are.
I'm 28 and found a fairly solid lump in my right breast that I don't recall felling before (I try to check semi-regularly with a family history of cancer). I went to the doctor's on Wednesday and she agreed it felt different to my other lumps and bumps, a lot more solid but she did say she thought it is likely benign (the type that begins with F, I'm not sure what it was) but wanted to refer me anyway. I got my referral appointment through the next day for the 20th May and I'm terrified of what comes next. She said I will likely get an ultrasound and a biopsy.
What is the process for a biopsy? It sounds so painful. How long does it take? And how quickly do the results come in? I'm autistic and don't handle not knowing what to expect but I briefly googled and it made everything worse so hoping someone here might be able to shed some light on what happens next.
