Waiting on results after biopsy

Hi Ladies,

 

thank you to all of you for posting. Sending love to those who have had bad news - I I'm truly hope your treatments are going well and you have the support of love ones.

 

i had a biopsy yesterday. I was referred a few weeks ago to the breast clinic. I have been referred a number of times as I have very lumpy and changing breasts. But on this occasion the lump didn't disappear. I had my first mammogram yesterday as previously I hadn't been considered old enough. This was followed by an ultrasound. During the ultrasound they confirmed the mammogram was clear but that they could see multiple cysts and the lump. They said it was 11mm and appeared to be a Fibroadenoma. Told me it's common and not a worry but we will take a biopsy. She actually took 3! I don't know why she took three? She kept assuring me it was nothing to worry about but belt and braces to be sure. But she also said "I'm not overly concerned" and this has stuck with me! At the time I kept thinking it'll be fine but now these 4 words keep popping in my head. I get married on the 8th and they have promised to call me to let me know the results before the big day but I can't shake those words and the chance they can be wrong. It's horrible as I've told myself that i need to stay positive and if it's not good news at least we can look at the options and hopefully deal with it before it becomes untreatable. But that's not as easy as it sounds :( finger crossed

  • Hello Aimes, 

    I just wanted to welcome you to our forum. I hope you won't have to wait too long for your biopsy results. I can imagine it must be a very stressful time for you while waiting for these important results. It is good news that the mammogram was clear and it's great that they were very thorough and took a biopsy. Don't worry about the fact that they took three samples it simply shows that they are being so rigorous with the procedure and it is reassuring that she told you that they were not overly concerned. 

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. It's really nice that they promised to ring you back with the results before your big day. It won't be long now before you get some answers and I wanted to wish you the very best for your wedding - I am sure it will be a very special day!

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,
