Waiting Biospy results - sorry for the long post

Hi,

I found a lump 10 days ago and was sent to the breast clinic.  My doctor suspected a cyst but wanted to get it checked.  I had my appointment on Wednesday.  The initial consultant said it felt like a cyst and scanned it.  I then got sent for another ultrasound and a mammogram.  Followed by another ultrasound and a biospy where they left markers in my breasts on the two different areas.  I can only feel one. I was then sent for another mammogram to make sure they had taken from the correct areas.  I went back to the inital consultant who explained that they have found what they think is abnormal and they have done a biospy to confirm or rule out Cancer.  He was extremely mattter of fact.  I then had to spend 40 minutes with my specialist nurse going through what will happen if its cancer, and they feel it is early and only stage 1.  I cant really remember what else she said as my then i was a wreak.  I have baby twins and older children.  I was so convinced it was cyst and I would be in and out I didnt take anyone with me. 

I have been fast tracked and get my results this Thursday.  The reason for my post is other people stories.  I have convinced myself its cancer, which I will deal with and fight back but its the waiting I'm struggling with.  I'm super organised and feel i can't plan anything as its not been confirmed.

Has anyone else had a similar trail of events and its not been cancer?

Thanks

  • Not till 4pm. Its my daughters 30th birthday and we are off for a spa day so have to keep my chin up all day I also have a 16yr old, and 5 step kids along with 10 gorgeous grandchildren and dont want to tell any of them.   I have a 4.8cm lump in my left breast (how the hell did it get so big without me noticing I dont know) luckily I've lost a lot of weight and I could physically see it.  On the internet it says its nearly stage 3 . The ultra sound of my lymph nodes was clear so hoping that improves my chances. 

    Stage 1 is 99% curable so I really hope that's what you hear on Thursday. ️

  • Don't read the internet. Wait until they tell you what they are dealing with and the best course of action. We can guess but they are the experts. My oncologist put me at great ease. 
     

    try as best you can to enjoy the spa day. Let me know after your appointment xx 

  • Will try! Thanks for chatting. Speak soon

    Good luck for Thursday too xxx
