Hi everyone 

So a month ago I found a lump in my breast since I've been back and forth to doctors and hospital. Today I had my ultrasound and they found the lump instantly. I looked at it and it was a circle with bumps in it. The doctor then explained that I was about to have a biopsy (my worst nightmare haha)

Anyway I had the biopsy and now have to wait until next week for results. I'm abit scared. She said its a tumour but believes it to be non cancerous but isn't sure. Am I panicked. A tiny bit. I'm 22 years old graduating this year from university and its abit scary having this situation and 5 assignments to do from home at the same time.

  • I'm sorry about the anxious wait you're having to endure Annar, but if you can try and keep the positive feedback in your mind when you find your worries getting the better of you.

    I know that's much easier said than done but you're not alone as many of our members have gone through this and I'm sure you'll receive some support and advice from them soon. In the meantime, I hope this information will help.

    We'll have our fingers crossed for good news.

    Hi Annar,

    I have just come across your post and wondered how you got on following your biopsy? I am experiencing similar, a painless lump that feels bumpy. To say I'm worried is an understatement! I have my appointment with the clinic on Monday, I'm just about keeping it together.
