Hi there,

That's great news and positive to read. I am 29 and found a lump just under four weeks ago. My doctor played it down saying he thought it was a cyst and so did the nurse at my examination when I went to the breast clinic. When they then sent me for an ultrasound and then quickly said they want to do a biopsy, I burst into tears. I am booked for this Thursday for my results and I cannot sleep all that well. I just want Thursday to be here so it's done, whatever the result is. 

It's comforting reading all these posts x

Hi, 

Try not to worry I know. Its hard the week waiting I was there 3 weeks ago now. I too thought they would shrug it off but had mammogram then ultrasound then biopsy. The weeks wait was the worst bit. Mine turned out to be a fibroadenoma. It is still there are hurts now and again but I just need to keep an eye on it. 

Come back and let us know how you get on it really helps other people looking for support x

Hi Lisa 

I hope you get good results too I was like you both my mum and nan died of breast cancer within 6 years of each other. I will be hyper aware of things from now on x

Thank you ️ I'm scared of the biopsy too! Did it take long? Glad your results was positive

Hi Lisa,

I'm so sorry to hear that you are struggling with the wait. I know how terrifying this is, as I too lost my Mum to brest cancer 22 years ago. I have been diagnosed with two bouts myself in the past 11 years and have had a lumpectomy, followed by a double mastectomy the following year.

It is good news that you cannot feel anything yourself, but sorry to hear that your left breast has been sore. Hopefully, this is more to do with your period than anything else, as it is unusual to have pain accompanying breast cancer.

You will be given a local anaesthetic prior to having your biopsy. It only takes a few seconds to take the biopsy itself. This is normally done by inserting a teedle with a small grabber at the end of it. Your biopsy will be guided by ultrasound so that they can take a small sample. Sometimes they take a few samples, so don't be worried if this happens.

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

Here's hoping that both breasts are clear.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
 

Hi Jolamine

thank you so much for your words of reassurance.  I think when your mom has had it you do fear the worse, and so sorry to hear what you went through, but so pleased you are ok Now ️
I was worried about the procedure but knowing it's done under local now has reassured me. One less thing to worry about. i don't think I can feel anything. It's hard when you don't really know what you are looking for, especially as breasts are so lumpy. I can't feel anything hard? 
 

I will keep you posted and let you know the outcome. 
 

thanks again
 

Hi Lisa,

Some people have naturally lumpy breasts, so your biopsy should pick this up if this is the case. I sincerely hope that nothing untoward is diagnosed and look forward to your outcome.

Kind regards,

Thankyou. Really appreciate your support ️

Hi Jolamine

Sorry to jump in the lady doing my biopsy and ultrasound said it was either a tumor in the breast tissue or a cyst she could not tell which because of its position. It turned out to be a fibroadenoma when I got my results x

Oh not at all thank you so she told you that before your results? X
