Hi Kingsbury,

Welcome to our forum.

The majority of us on this site are not doctors. We are merely cancer patients who can speak from our own personal experience.

The mammogram that your wife had should have shown up whether or not there were any lumps present in her breast. If there had been any suspicious lesions, a biopsy would have been carried out on that particular area.

Has your wife been discharged? If so, it sounds as if she has been one of the lucky ones.

Kind regards,

Jolamine

Hi McFi,

Thank you for your update. I am so glad to hear that you are feeling so much better since your breast was drained and you were put on an antibiotic.

You must be immensely relieved to be given the all clear. I am absolutely delighted for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Dylianna,

Welcome to the forum. I am sorry to hear about your lump. You are doing the right thing in going to see your GP in the first instance. Explain to the receptionist that you need an urgent appointment and why. Try not to google things at the moment. There are so many different things that could cause this. You will probably find the most spectacular causes on google and scare yourself rigid, when there could be a very simple solution.

Do please let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Thanks for your kind response. 

She noticed a 2cm lump over a week ago, we paid and went to a private clinic who carried out a mammogram which shows that there is a hard lump not soft. It's left us with more questions then answers until the biopsy. The pain has gone behind her ear.

Thank Jolamine,

I went to my GP today and he said it's a cyst due to an infected hair follicle? He gave me antibiotics and I need to go back in 2 weeks if it's not gone. In terms of my shoulder and arm the ultrasound showed lots inflammation. So having Cortisone injections when the Cyst as gone

Hi, I have had biopsy for lump in breast near nipple which has now dimpled a bit and looks a bit bruised above the lump which is very hard. Must go back for results on Monday, they said this is not frs

What kind of treatment should I be expecting?

Thanks

Hi Mepam,

Welcome to our forum. I am sorry to hear that you have a breast lump. It is impossible to tell you what treatment you will get, as all cancers and individual traits are particular to the individual.

You will be told what type and grade of cancer you have on Monday. By the time you see your consultant on Monday s/he will possibly have held an MDT (multidisciplinary team) meeting. Here they will have discussed your treatment, so your consultant should be able to tell you of their decision at your meeting.

Are you bringing someone with you to your appointment? This is always a good idea. Also, it is useful to write any questions you have down, so that you don't forget them.

Do please let us know how you get on on Monday. We are always here for you.

Will be thinking of you and praying for a good result.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
