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

    When I had my biopsy it was a quick local injection and quite soon after, 4 biopsies were taken.

    They did not hurt at all and I was told there would be a bit of pressure which they would warn me about before each one.

    They then put a bit of tape over the small cut. The area was bruised and sore for a few days afterwards.

    Its nothing to worry about, it won't hurt.

    The waiting is terrible, and I really feel for you both at this time.  I was told at the time it was a solid lump but they could not give me any idea if it would be cancer.  In the end it was a benign tumor and was removed with an opperation within 2 weeks.

    I wish you the best of luck and hope everything works out for both of you.
