Concerned had a biopsy to take cells from lump due to mammogram and ultrasound showing signs of shadow and concerns the lump is dense. Had a marker inserted to show where the cells were removed for biopsy. Back at hospital soon. Family history of 2 previous members with breast cancer. Fearful of what’s next. Been told that it’s good I came when I did and they will discuss what’s next at the next meeting.

Since the biopsy I am anxious, worried and in a daze. All sorts running through my head as what to expect. I was asked if I had someone with me, thankfully I did. My mind has raced to its going to be cancer, but the reality is I haven’t been told until the results are confirmed or not. It’s the way they told me things I felt alarmed, but I know they have to be truthful and prepare you for the in case it’s cancer scenario. 

I want to know what to expect if it is, what’s next.

my breast is swollen ans bruised and feels heavy. It is tingling with pain on and off and just feels uncomfortable and a little itchy. Is this common, what are the symptoms?

thank you.
