Biopsy

Hi iv felt a lump behind nipple iv had mammogram & scan that didn't show anything due to doctor feeling lump & nipple slightly retracted I had a biopsy done waiting for results just wondered if anyone has been told it's cancer even tho mammogram & scan didn't pick it up thank you 

  • Hi Poppy11 and welcome to the forum. 

    I know that lots of our members here will understand how difficult it can be waiting for results and it's natural to think about the "what if's" . 

    If an area does or doesn't show on a scan or mammogram isn't always necessarily an indicator of what it may be, hence why a biopsy is taken. I hope that you don't have to wait too long for your biopsy results. 

    If you'd like to speak to our nurses at any point you can call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

    Do keep in touch and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
