Hello & First time Breast Biopsy

Hi all,

I had an intuitive feeling and some achy/discomfort in my breast so I went to the Dr and she examined me.  She couldn't feel a lump per se, but she said that she would send me for a TWW appointment.  I went today and whilst the ANP couldn't find the luimp either (seems only I can!), they scanned me and found a lump (about 2mm across) that they took a biopsy of. 

They said that they suspect its a fibroadenoma but said that they are 'on the fence' about it and rated me 3/5 on their ratimg system (5 being bad news...).  

I now just need to wait and week. 

I thought it was interesting that it was my intuition that kept telling me to go get it seen to.  Has anyone else had this?
