Scared! - likely breast cancer diagnosis

Hi,

i found a lump in my breast and have had a biopsy which I await the results of. I have been told that it’s 90% likely to be cancer.

i din’t Know what to do!!

  • I can’t understand why they have you such a high percentage until the results come back? I found a lump 3 years ago and they found that I have lots of cysts. These can be painful and come and go but they simply drain them if really painful. They did do a biopsy on me once but it was not cancer. I had to wait 5 anxious weeks for results m but all was ok. Hopefully yours will be ok too. 

  • Hi there ...

    That's really bad practice telling you that without someone explaining more to you .. as far as I know they always wait for biopsy result first ... I so hope our in the 10% and o.k ... I'd deff put in a complaint either way ... 

    Fingers crossed it's better news ..  Chrissie x

  • Im also awaiting my biopsy results. I didn’t even know I had a lump until I was examined. The doctor thought it was a cyst but the mammogram showed it to be solid. While they were straight with me they certainly didn’t tell me any odds. They just said they’ll see me in a week and go from there. Telling you it’s 90% without any facts seems very wrong. 

    I do understand your turmoil. I can think of nothing else at the moment, pretending to be normal when it’s anything but. 

  • Hi,

    im so sorry you’ve been told this without the results even back.... it’s dreadful of them....

    i can totally understand you are so very worried,but as already said cysts are painful.

    I know it’s silly of me to say try not to worry because you will and I just feel dreadful for you that this is completely out of order what they have said to you....We are all here if you want a rant or just a chat.

    love Jackie xxx
