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

    Thank you.  I found a lump in my breast today after a scare with an enlarged tonsil last May (which I had both removed as a precaution they were clear of cancer) I always think the worst.  I'm so glad you're ok. Good luck.

    Hi Jacq,

    I am sorry to hear about your latest find. We all tend to think the worst at this stage, but fortunately, this seldom comes to pass. I hope that you will phone your GP first thing on Monday morning and ask for an urgent appointment. If you tell the receptionists the reason for this, they will usually try to accommodate you.

    This should save you from weeks of worry while you're waiting for an appointment. Here's hoping that you get the same result as you got in May.

    Please stay in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
