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

  • I know this was last year but I am so happy for you! And also extremely grateful for your post! 
    I just came back from the hospital, had 2 biopsies done and Im going to be waiting in agony for the results. Im 45, 2 kids 10/14. I had biosies done before and they were fibroadenoms. Lets just pray its going to be the same. although this one is big.. around 5/6cm  

     

  • It's so hard to wait from the biopsies to the next appointment.

    Do you have someone to go with you for the results?

    I hope the waiting does as quickly as possible, try to keep busy and try not to think the worst, although I know its difficult.  Like LisaE said, you've been here before and it could be the same again.

    Wishing it goes well for you xx
