Worried about results

Yesterday I had a mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy after finding a hardness in breast. The doctor who examined me there said it was likely a cyst,the mammogram and ultrasound proved it was a small lump. I have an appointment next Thursday. I also was advised to have a chest x Ray and bloods done too. I am absolutely terrified. They did biopsy on lymph node too. I went to pieces,when I was called in to office the doctor,a breast nurse and consultant were there to say I need Ed to come back for results . Is this all normal,I felt they knew something or am I being paranoid!!!

  • Hi jane

    sorry that you find yourself here. I guess all that you described could be classed as ‘normal’ the only difference between us is that I was not asked to go for a X-ray or had bloods taken. I can’t honestly think of a reason why they would do that for breast cancer. Perhaps they think you have an infection?

    The pathology takes 7-10 days hence why you have been asked back to be given the results, then and only then will you and they know whether it’s cancer - until then try to keep yourself busy, I know that’s easier said than done but what got me through it was telling myself it’s not cancer until they say it’s cancer. There are lot of ladies on here that have been in your position and fortunately there results came back negative - I hope your does too x
