Hi HarrietE,

A very warm welcome to the forum.

I was told this on three occasions. Fortunately, the third lump was benign. If a consultant suspects cancer they will usually tell you this straightaway. In most cases they are right, but occasionally biopsy finds that a lesion is benign. Although a lesion can look cancerous, the only reliable way to be sure, is to take a biopsy. This looks at the cells and determines whether they are cancerous or benign. By telling you that cancer is suspected, it gives you a little time to prepare for a diagnosis when the biopsy comes back.

Do you have a date to return for your results yet? This is always a worrying time, especially in someone so young. It is unusual to get breast cancer at your age, but sadly not impossible. Cancer treatments have advanced tremendously in recent years. I had 2 bouts of breast and1 of pre-cancer, all within a year of each other. That was16 years ago and I still lead a busy and fulfilling life. 

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Thank you for your response. It’s comforting to know I can talk to people here about it.

I should get my results this coming Friday or Monday. The wait is almost over but the last few days feel like they are dragging much more and it’s harder to put out my mind. 

Endless questions and scenarios going around in my head. I guess it’s good to be able to prepare for the worst but I can’t think about anything else

Hi, HarrettE I hope it is nothing if not you can do this! Praying for you! 

I have a lump that has got dimpling around it, it is fairly fixed and firm. I did have a love bite around where the lump is as i wouldn’t have found it if I didn’t still have a green bruise there after a few weeks. I’m so scared and I have my breast scan appointment today. All I can think of is I have the dreaded C and It’s not very treatable and I have 3 boys 3 and under. Honestly hoping it’s a hematoma or fat necrosis.

All of this is so scary isn’t it! 

I’ve been asked to come and see the consultant today. 
My partner is going to come to the appointment with me and I’ve prepped him with my questions.

Thank you for your support xx

I hope it’s benign! praying for you.

I’m 27 too, I’m so scared for my breast scan appointment today.

sending all my love x

Thank you.

Good luck with your appointment today too and hopefully you get the answers you need.

It’s scary and it’s feels like we’re too young to have to worry about this. Life likes to throw curveballs when you least expect it!
