Worried about results of breast biopsy

I am very worried. I am 36 with 2 young children. I went to my GP regarding an inverted nipple, which I had largely ignored for about 2 years putting it down to changes following breastfeeding. Was referred largely for peace of mind for a mammogram and ultrasound, which showed nothing. As I have a family history of breast cancer i was sent for an MRI. I have now had 4 biopsies as the breast with the inverted nipple absorbed more contrast dye than the other. I dont know know what this means? 

I am waiting for results and absolutely out of my mind with worry. 

Has anyone experienced anything similar? 

  • Of course you will worry, its natural, did they give you an idea of when your results will be in? 2 weeks? Try and take someone with you for moral support. You will soon know what's what, if it's good news, then huge relief.....if otherwise you will soon be on a treatment plan and on the way to getting it sorted, try not to leap too far ahead, take things as they come...it can get so overwhelming, so much to take in....try and slow things down, deal what's in front of you right now....and forget any what ifs. All the worry in the world won't change a thing....you can and will do this.....let us know how you get on? Xxx

  • Thank you, this is good advice. I go through stages of putting it out of my mind, and then I remember and start googling and terrify myself. 

    Apparently my results will be discussed in a meeting tomorrow and I should then get an appointment. I wish I had asked more questions about what the dye being absorbed could mean. I guess I was in shock, I hadn't expected biopsies to be taken. 

    Thank you for your supportive words x
