Waiting for results is so tough - went to GP for lump in right breast , which was indeed a cyst. Assumed in the clear only to get a recall for a suspicious area in my left breast. Vacuum biopsy last week - which was painful , but only for a short time and not long to recover. Results due tomorrow. My husband died last year after being diagnosed with terminal cancer completely out of the blue, so am stealing myself for the worse.

I'm also terrified. Waiting for my hospital appointment. Not many of you posted what your results were. Could we have an update please? My son is five months old. I'm more scared than words can say. X

Hi Jodie! (That's my sisters name) my partner found a lump in my breast on the 18th December, we had literally just moved areas so had no doctors, Internet or family near us. I had to phone my mum to ask if I should walk into my nearest doctor surgery or a&e... 2 days later I see a doctor who referred me to the breast clinic and they had a slot on the 21st December, the consultant felt could feel the hard lump in the inside of my breast and sent me up to have an Ultra Sound Scan, I was told it's not a cyst, probably a fibroid but he can't rule out cancer and will take a core biopsy right then. I'm 30 with 2 young children, I'm not worrying as I think we have age on our side and I don't have breast cancer or really any cancer in my family so I told him I wasn't worried and won't lose sleep over Christmas. I asked them to post my results instead of hearing them at a hospital appointment. It's now the 30th and it would be nice to know the results, I have to go away on the first until the 6th January so I know they will probably arrive then! My partner doesn't want to talk about it and I don't feel I can tell people invade it all comes back clear and they think it's an attention thing, like I shouldn't say anything unless it comes back positive

Hi all, Just writing as I’m absolutely petrified. I’m 25 and have had a lump in my right breast since I was 15, I was told this was a cyst and as long as it moved and hurt, it was fine. Christmas night, I realised it had lodged itself and no longer hurt. Last week I went to my GP who believed there is nothing to worry about but because of my anxiety, has referred me to the breast clinic which I have another three days in which I’m seen. In the meantime I’ve came down with flu like symptoms, my doctor will not see me as they say this is viral but I’m experiencing pain under my arms and the right side of my chest which also feels swollen. My left breast has now started to ache, I’m absolutely beside myself, I feel so poorly and I’ve convinced myself I’ve got cancer in both my breast and lymph nodes. I’ve just cried days and can’t sleep, constantly researching online which doesn’t help one bit. The wait is the longest wait ever, I’m really struggling :(

I have a similar story, I had what I was told by my gp as a fibroadenoma and nothing to worry about as long as there are no changes. 2 1/2 years later and I have just have had ultrasounds, biopsy and a mammogram as my lump whilst still fluctuating in size has grown larger and have had some redness and swelling of the breast about a week after my period and then it goes away. Doctor told me when I left today that it looks like it is cancer but doesn’t look like it is in the nodes. Got to wait until the 5th to get my results.

hi there bh657. i went to the gp a few weeks ago with pain in my left breast that i had continuously and been having for months. said he couldnt feel anything and its prob nothing but wil make a referal becasue i have family history. my mum has the brca2 gene and had preventative surgury last yr and all the women on my mums side of the family have had breast cancer. im only 28 and i have 3 small children. went to the breast clinic thinking thy would say theres nothing to worry about. doctor felt both sides and conducted an ultrasound and she was taking ages on the right side. went to the left then back to the right. she then said i would need to see another doctor and have another scan done. went into another room and another consultant did an ultra sound and took 3 biopsies as they could see something suspicious on the right side, went back in to see the 1st consultant and said i would need to come back for my results on the 5th april which will be 2 weeks since the biopsy was taken because of the easter bank holiday. i cant even think straight, randomly bursting into tears, cant eat or think i feel sick constantly. 2 weeks feels like forever. i also felt like they were really sympathatic to me and kept tryting to distract me from the biopsy with talk about my kids. my partner just says ill be fine. Obviously there is a chance ill be fine but im literally worrying sooo much. im also looking too much into it tha their not calling me or writing to me with the results but i had to make an appointment. and im angry with my self for not asking more questions while i was there. hope everything ok for you xxx
