Investigations lump in breast

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 and 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.

    I replied to your message but my reply didnt show up. maybe the moderator has to approve it? Not sure. i am new here. But you might get 2 messages if the first one comes through. So I read your message and Ive just went through the same thing but they told me it is cancer just by looking at the mammogram images and comparing to my mammogram 4 years ago. They gave me a card for breast care nurses for extra support and said i will need surgery. It sounds like they are not so sure in your case and that is a good thing, perhaps you are either clear or caught it very early. The soreness is completely normal after the ordeal your breasts went through with the mammogram and biopsies so dont worry about that xx text me back if you would like to talk more about it :)
