Lump

Breast lump found 10 weeks ago on right side, ultrasound confirmed cyst, they used fine needle to aspirate disappeared literally as they drained it, found a lump in left breast and was seen in clinic 2 days ago, ultrasound said cyst again so went in same procedure to aspirate however it wouldn’t budge at all. She really did give it a good go, heard her say to colleague it had a creamy consistency to it, but still it wouldn’t drain, consultant seen me said cyst and do a biopsy, called back into room for biopsy now waiting on results. Surely if it was only a cyst it would have drained?

  • Hi Kel86, 

    I am not sure whether a cyst would have definitely drained - this is something you could perhaps ask your doctor but I think it's good that they are being thorough and did a biopsy even if it sounds like your consultant suspects it is is cyst. It's all a bit of a waiting game now for you and the waiting is often a very anxious time as many of our community members will know but have a look at these helpful tips which I hope you will find helpful and will give you some good strategies to help you cope while waiting for important news. 

    I hope that you will hear from others here who have had something similar before and that the biopsy results will confirm very soon that it is just a cyst.

    Keeping everything crossed for you! 

    Best wishes,
