Waiting for breast biopsy, out of my mind with worry

Bethuk

hi everyone, I noticed a lump on my right breast and went to breast clinic. I'm 33 so they did an ultrasound - they said there is a patchy lump about 3cm big and that 2 lymph nodes look swollen on the ultrasound (but not to touch).

I panicked and immediately assumed cancer and everyone else started talking like it's cancer too, saying stuff like 'we'll treat it' and that once the biopsy results come back I should be prepared that treatment will start quickly.

I'm in total panic mode, can't eat or sleep and feel sick constantly, I don't know how I'm going to get through until biopsy results.

I'd like to know, can they tell from an ultrasound whether it's cancer? I thought that's why you need a biopsy? I'm literally out of mind worrying about this :(

Thanks for your help xx

    Hi I'm Toni 50 just found lump, waiting for biopsy n yeah solo stressed! Really need some one to chat to coz those I've told are either awkward or avoiding me, I totally understand how hard it is for them, I don't even wanna talk about it. But my first mother in law found a lump and I was pregnant, by the time I gave birth she was riddled and it had gone to her brain, my age ! I just need to chat x

    Hi Toni, welcome to the site but sorry to hear that you have found a lump. I totally understand you being so stressed about it, who wouldn't be? Do you have date for the biopsy yet? Waiting for tests, and then the results is just hell and there's no easy way to get through it other than to try and distract yourself with good things, see friends, go out in the sunshine, watch movies, whatever will help you best. Having a good rant on here is good too so do come back any time. We have all been through it one way or another and understand how you're feeling. I kept everything to myself until after the diagnosis and in hindsight this was not a good idea so if you can talk to friends and family about your worries then please try. Look after yourself. Take care  Sue x
