I’m currently waiting for my breast biopsy results after I found a lump. At my appointment I had an ultrasound, mammogram, tomosynthesis, biopsy and a marker clip put in.

I was seen by the consultant and a breast cancer nurse after who said they are concerned it could be cancer but we would need to wait for the results.

The follow up letter states ‘the lump is concerning for cancer’. Obviously nothing is confirmed until I have the results back but I’m feeling so anxious. I’m 27 and people keep telling I’m too young and not to worry.

I can’t help feeling they are preparing me for the worst or do they have to leave it open until results are confirmed?
