Waiting for a biopsy result

Hi to whoever is reading this and thank you for giving me your time,

 

I've never posted on here but have been reading some similar posts and wondered if anyone was able to provide me with some reassurance. I found a lump back in February (Feb this year) in my left boob about a centimetre above my nipple (size is about 1cm, moveable and feels rubbery under the skin) and went to the doctors back then for them to tell me they think my glands were swollen due to coming off the pill.

 

Months later, I fell pregnant and still have the lump (same size) so thought as it's been a long while since I've come off my pill I would get it checked again, especially as before the doc said I wouldn't have needed an US or anything.

 

Went to the docs a couple weeks ago, they said it feels like a Fibroadenoma  / cyst, but wanted me to get an ultrasound done to be sure. I went today for my ultrasound and they said it looks cystic/fluidey but has some solid elements so they performed a biopsy and now I've got the dreaded two week wait for my results.

 

I have been non-stop worrying, I'm a born worrier anyway. I'm 23 years old, no family history of cancer and as much as I tell myself it won't be cancer and it's likely to be a fatty lump/Fibroadenoma, I literally cannot stop worrying. I haven't had any nipple discharge, changes in skin or anything. My head is so sore from a constant headache from worrying - is there any reassurance anyone could give me or anything? Thank you :-( 

  • Hi there,

     

    I've never posted before either but our situations sound quite similar. I also found a lump, GP wasn't worried but referred me to be on the safe side. The radiologist thought it looked like a Fibroadenoma but they did a biopsy to be on the safe side- I'm 32. It's been over a week now and still no results back. I really sympathise with you waiting, I feel the same and it's awful. I'm also still quite uncomfortable where the biopsy was done too which is perpetuating the worrying and anxiety. I hope you hear something soon- I'm trying to adopt the 'no news is good news' approach at this point! :)

  • Aw I really hope you receive good news soon to put your mind at rest, thank you for replying to me and I hope you're okay! I'm sure we will both be okay, it's just such a worry isn't it. I only had mine today and already worried about the results, going to be a long two weeks! They didn't really reassure me much in the ultrasound, just kind of said they can't tell what it is and need to send it off which is understandable but not very nice on the receiving end when you rely on reassurance!
