Further screening, ultrasound and biopsy...

I recently had further tests following my routine mammogram. I had a core biopsy, I could see on the screen that there was white lumpy veiny parts under the nipple that branched out and then a larger very white blob about a couple of inches away from there. I have to go back next week for the results. I told the radiologist that I’m due to have a hysterectomy on the 15th June and she said ‘well any treatment that you need here would take priority over that’...

I’m new to here, but any thoughts guys?? I’m not the worrying type, more curious about what the findings could be and if I should read anything into the radiologists comments.

  • Hello Saftmom, 

    Welcome to our forum. Waiting for results is always such a stressful time. I hope you get a bit more clarity on all this soon. Poor you having to deal with this while simultaneously having to have a hysterectomy soon. I hope everything goes well for you. 

    Just this morning, I welcomed another lady who is also having to wait a couple of weeks for results following a vacuum assisted biopsy. You can read [@Kmg67]‍ 's thread here and respond if you wish - it helps to talk to others who are currently dealing with a similar wait. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you - keep us updated if you get a chance. 

    Best wishes,

  • Thanks for your reply Lucie, 

    I’ve had a core biopsy before, about 6 years ago...and the results were just sent through the post...but this time I have to go back a week after the biopsy and see the consultant..perhaps protocol has changed or maybe it is something  that needs attention this time. I am not the worrying type at all but am keeping this from family (parents and daughter) as they are the worrying type lol...

    I’ll know what’s what on Wednesday and hopefully it’ll be all clear and my hysterectomy can go ahead as planned on the 15th

     

  • I'll be thinking of you on Wednesday Saftmom! It's great you are not the worrying type - taking one day at a time is the right thing to do before you have your appointment on Wednesday.

    Everything crossed for you for good results. Let us know what you find out if you get a moment!
