Hi I can understand the worry and anxiety. I found a lump as well went to the doctors on the 11th of November my appointment with the breast clinic was today my lump they believe is benign. I still have a needle core biopsy to get just to double check.  You did the best thing going to the doctors I know the waiting isn't great try not to worry and keep busy. They are fantastic at  the breast clinic the nurses and doctors they do an amazing job. I felt better once I was there and getting answers. The not knowing is the worse. It's good to write down your feelings and talk to friends or family to give you the support you need. I hope it all goes well with you take care 

Did you go to the Drs today? 

I hope you're coping ok, it's so difficult. Hugs x

hello! 

Yes I went and she says it’s a swollen lump node (posterior lymph I think?) so that has just freaked me out even more! She said not to panic as it doesn’t determine anything yet I have to just wait for the breast clinic which luckily is this Friday! Thankfully as this waiting is just torture, I have never felt such genuine fear in all my life I am trying to stay positive and optimistic knowing it could be a number of things but I just cant stop this horrid feeling. X

Hello and thank you for the reply! Am glad that they believe it is benign fingers crossed all goes well with your biopsy results! I went back my gp today and the lump on my neck is a swollen lymph node (posterior lymph or something?) so that made me worry 10x more she said not to worry yet as it still doesn’t determine anything and could be a number of things but I just feel so scared like pure genuine fear, my appointment at the breast clinic is this Friday thankfully! I just wana know what’s what as waiting and wondering is just torture, thanks again for the reply hope your well x

Riri, I can totally relate. It's the worst feeling in the world, I have got myself in such a state waiting for my results x

am sorry you have been in a bad state too! It’s torture isn’t it just waiting feels so surreal yet totally real at the same time if that makes sense? I hope you don’t mind me asking but isit results regarding breast cancer or something else? X

Yes, it's a lump I found 30th Nov. Referral appointment took 3 weeks, which was last Thurs. Get results a week tomorrow. I've copied and pasted my reply from the other thread.

Scottishwifie, I'm in the same situation as you, except a year older. I had the core biopsy on the same day, go back next weds to get results.

The consultant read out the reports, and in passing mentioned fibroadeoma but nothing was explained and he was really quiet and mumbly. I wish I'd asked him to explain as not sure if he was just giving an example of what it could be, or saying they think it's that.

I'm in such a mess, saw my gp today as my head and face keep going numb with pins and needles. I was convinced I had breast cancer which had spread to my brain. Sane moments like now I know it sounds ridiculous, but I am struggling to think clearly.

My neck muscles are so tight she said it's being caused by stress and also causing the pins and needles, so have physio tomorrow to try and loosen them up.

My nan died within 3 months of getting breast cancer 2 years ago as it went to her brain, so that's all I keep thinking. But I also need to remember that was her 3rd time, she beat it twice in 30 years.

A week tomorrow and I get my results, cruel making someone wait 2 weeks! X

I'm nearly 49, but have a 7 year old. I'm terrified I won't be around for her

reading that has just made me well up again! I have a 5 year old daughter and just keep thinking about her and it’s makjg me feel physically sick, it took 3 weeks? Mine has took 4 days, did you get put through as urgent? I think a cancellation must of come up for me to get my referral so quick. So the consultant finest think it’s cancer then as he said fibroadeoma so that’s really positive! I wish you the best of luck for Wednesday! Will they do a biopsy on me Friday? What’s it like? X

Yes, was an urgent referral. But they're struggling to get people seen within the 2 weeks. My other choice hospital is having 7 week waits which is just shocking. 

The biopsy was OK, they injected a local anesthetic which honestly felt no worse than a vaccination. Felt a bit bruised for a couple of days. But I wouldn't be worried at all having another one.

You got someone coming with you? My partner came but he said he just panicked when he realised it wasn't a cyst and zoned out, didn't take anything in.

7 week wait omg that is shocking! Yes they said max 2 weeks wait for me but there must of been a cancellation or something am glad anyways because I couldn’t last 2 weeks like this would make myself ill with anxiety, I’ve had a skin biopsy done befor on a rash so should be similar to that then? I was just abit worried as don’t know like how deep this lump is to get to.

Yes my mum and partner is coming, their both really worried themselves it’s so horrible! I think am 28 how on earth am I going for breast cancer tests? Il let you know how I get on Friday and please keep me updated with your relsults next week! X
