Waiting for breast biopsy result

Hi

I had a breast biopsy and mammogram done last week and have spent the last 6 days in complete fear of the results. After the biopsy and mammogram I was called back into a room with the doctor and a bcn to be told the mammogram was very worrying as the mass looked highly suspicious. As a 42 year old mother of 2 I have been beside myself with worry it’s been with me 24/7 and anxiety levels through the roof!

Today I got my results (I was literally crying on the way into doctors room) it’s not breast cancer, it’s a Fibroadenoma. I wanted to share this so that anyone going through this awful time can see suspicious lumps don’t always mean cancer. I also want to wish everyone good luck whatever their outcome xx

    Thanks [@Sazcop]‍ for sharing. My appt is

    booked for tues and I was preparing myself that a bad scan and need for biopsy would mean it was likely bad news. 

    I would have been terrified. 

    So thank you again xx

    Hi Pisces

    Glad the post has helped you a bit, nothing takes the worry away but it’s easy to let our minds think the worst. I think if they can’t confirm it’s a cyst they do the scan and biopsy just to rule out anything sinister but I was the same as you, thinking this can’t be good!

    I really hope you get good news on Tuesday, statistics are on your side and whatever the outcome there’s some lovely people on here that have been and are going through the worst so you won’t be alone.

    Please let us know how you get on.

    Take care and good luck xx
