Hi there,
I'm a 37 year old mum and I had a breast biopsy yesterday. I feel completely wiped out today is that normal? I feel like I've been run over by a truck. Wasn't expecting to feel much, I didn't during the biopsy it was fine but wow.
anyway the doctors suspect fibroadenoma but being cautious, I think. I've always had problems with my breasts on and off, pretty sure I had one when I was breastfeeding but they suspected blocked duct and said I was 21 and shouldn't worry it was anything nasty so I left it, wish more people talked about this. I've often looked up things and the only place people talk about it is here. I've been lurking for a while.
Im more upset about this whole thing and finding a lump because I recently lost my bestest friend to breast cancer and a few months later I find a new lump myself.
I don't know whether it's the lump itself or the fact it's "triggering" me over my friend. For instance, if they tell me it's nothing, I'll be grateful, but also, why was it that way for her?
I know life doesn't work like that I guess this whole thing has just brought up all these grief feelings for her.
sorry this post is both waiting for a diagnosis and loss related.
just wanted to talk about it to someone so thanks for reading.
let me know if the biopsy wiped you out though. I haven't moved off the sofa all day. I had the one with the three biopsies if that helps.
