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 Jolamine 

sorry I meant to ask; on the day of retest and biopsy, I know they can't give u results but do they give u any indication of what it would be? x

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

Hi yes she told me when she was doing the ultrasound that's why she did the biopsy. X

Did u have local anaesthetic. Thank you

Hi

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.

Thank you so much emma. I am truly thankful of everyone's reassuring comments. 
 

worrying times but this helps so much. I am glad your results were good and was all sorted. 
 

thank you so much. I will post again after my appointment next week. x

Hi Lisa,

I was fortunate that my biopsy was carried out by my consultant's wife, a consultant radiologist. She also did my ultrasound, so she showed me the lump and, didn't have to wait for anyone to read my scans. I then went straight back to see her husband, who immediately told me that he was almost certain that I had breast cancer. I still had to wait a week for my biopsy results and unfortunately, they wee correct. This happened on both occasions and, I initially thought it strange, until I thought about it further. It gave me a week to come to terms with my diagnosis, without having any false illusions.

However, I have heard of other consultants giving patients the same opinion , but all turned out fine when the biopsy results came back.

KInd regards,

Thanks Jolamime. 
 

So sorry you had to go through that. I just have to stay positive and hope that I can deal with whatever the outcome xx

Hi Lisa,

The more positive you can stay, the better you'll get through this.

Kind regards,
