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

    Hi Sazcop,

    Yes, I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the past 9 years and, am currently having some facial moles investigated. I have also lost both parents and several relatives and close friends to cancer, so unfortunately, I am no stranger to its' ravages.

    There is a little army of us here and, we try to offer wnat comfort and support we can  This is a cruel disease and, is no respector of age, creed or colour.

    I am just so glad that you remain free of it.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

  • Hi Jolamine

    Thats terrible you really have been through it, it’s so unfair like you say it’s so unfair how cruel this is. This has to be your time for a break I really hope the investigations turn out to be a positive result for you as the worrying you must have had over the last nine years must be exhausting.

    One positive is that you must be one strong lady to have come through this much and that is something that *** of a disease can’t take from you! 

    I will keep looking out on here to hopefully see you get the all clear in the next few weeks.

    wishing you all the best and take care xx

  • Thank you for your reply, I'll send a message tomorrow to let everyone know how I get on.

    Reading everyones messages it means a lot to have support from people who understand how this feels.

    I've lost alot of people to cancer including my mum and dad, and I don't think I ever understood how scared they must have been until now.

    Be strong every one, much love xxx

  • Good news !!

    The results were benign and I don't need to go back for a year, just to check not grown back.

    So relieved...

    I hope everyone reading this gets some hope that not all lumps are going to result in more treatment.

    The surgery is nothing to fear, thanks to the team at St Helens Hospital and all their care.

    How do you thank these people they are worth their weight in gold...

    All my wishes are for everyone else, I hope all goes well, I will keep looking to see how everyone gets on...

    Thank you once again for your support XXX
