Breast lump biopsy - New to chat and worried

Hi I found a lump a while ago and went to my gp she told me not to worry due to my age and said it would be hormonal. So I didn’t worry. I found a new lump recently at 29, went to a different gp he said he wasn’t worried about the new one too much, but wanted the original one tested. He referred me to the breast clinic, I saw a specialist that said it feels typically benign, as it was long and smooth. I had noticed my breast had got bigger and turned to the side and nipple looked different. I then had an ultrasound, he said that the new one was fine, but wanted to biopsy the original one. Since the biopsy the long smooth lump seems to have gone and the hard bit is left. There is also a new lump left from where the biopsy was, but I’m aware of that. So is it possible to have a canerous lump inside a cyst or benign lump? 

 

Thank you 

  • Hi Pineapple and welcome to the forum.

    Unfortunately I can't answer your question but I'm sure the team that were looking after you will be in a better position to once your biopsy results are back so make a note of this and any other questions that you may have so you can discuss them when you see them next.

    We have a lot of ladies who have been through this process on the forum so I hope you hear from some of them soon but do give our cancer nurses a call if you'd like to talk things through with them. They can be contacted on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    We'll have our fingers crossed for good news Pineapple.

    All the best,
