Hi manby76

i have been where you are now and the waiting is the worst. I noticed my nipple had inverted and couldn’t feel anything but was referred. I was told it can happen for a number of reasons so wasn’t to worried. At the clinic I was given a mammogram which showed something so was given ultrasound and biopsy all at once. Then had a week of waiting for the results. Mine was cancer but was very localised , had a lumpectomy with node removal the week later and now waiting on starting radiotherapy along with 5 years of tamoxifen. By surgeon did say that benign growths can cause the nipple to invert so try not to worry until you know exactly what  it is ( easier said than done I know ) I’m 46 with 2 young kids so felt my world had shattered but honestly 8/weeks down the line I’m feeling super positive and ready to get on with my life and not look back. These forums can be so supportive as everybody has been through what you are going through now. Sending you lots of positive vibes for next week. Let us know how you get on nicky

Thank you for your reply Nicky.

I feel more positive today, and I've decided to carry on as normal...focus on my weight loss and training for Race for Life, along with being the healthiest version of me that I can be! Think it's a fear of the tests needed to get a diagnosis rather than the possibility of having cancer...which sounds really odd but I know exactly what I'd do if it turns out to be cancer.

Hope your radiotherapy goes well.

Hi

im waiting for results from core biopsy that I had yesterday, and I know exactly how you feel.

im a total wreck. I had ultrasound after a routine mammogram showed a blob in my right breast that wasn’t present in my left. If you only need an ultrasound, you will get the results right away. I have to go back on 30 April for my results. Waiting is so hard, but reading other ladies are in the same boat does comfort me a little.

take care  x
