So pleased your diagnosis is this!!!  I am hoping mine is too, I am 41 and like you thought it was only younger women that got them but I have read that although more common in younger women you can get one at any age. 

You'll be doubting it probably because you have prepared yourself so much for bad news. 

Can I ask what yours felt like please?

So pleased for you. 

Thank you, I'm sure this is the case. I didn't even think about it being a fibroadenoma even after hours on Google! I was thinking it may have been some kind of cyst if not Cancer but this was never on my radar because of my age. I know I should be happy but my mums cancer was missed when it reacurred and by the time it was diagnosed it was too late.

It feels oval but looked round on the ultrasound. I didn't think it moved but the consultant said it was movable and he was able to hold it. It measured 1.8 cm on the ultrasound too. It feels firm but not hard. I think the pain was coming from it pressing on tissue in my armpit. It's sore now but the BC nurse said that will be from the internal trauma from the core biopsy. 

Bless you so awful after what you have been through with your mam. Have they offered to remove it for you? Hopefully if they do then your mind will settle.

Might be worth following up. Xx

Hi, 

No the BC nurse said to just leave it. I said it's painful but apparently this is from the biopsy. I'm a bit concerned as I went to the doctors originally because it had got painful so I'm hoping I'm not going to be in pain forever with it. I think if they get too big they remove them but she said it may just shrink on its own x
