Hi new here suspected fibroadenoma

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.

  • I also had a biopsy a couple of weeks ago and am waiting to go back Wednesday for results - the doctor watching the ultrasound said they biopsy all lumps basically that aren't obviously a cyst. I have low blood pressure and after lying there with my arms up for the biopsy meant that I nearly passed out afterwards and had to be put in a separate room with a biscuit - maybe the tiredness you are feeling is an adrenaline crash after building up to an appointment? I have a close friend currently being treated for breast cancer and so I haven't told anyone really about this because I will feel awful if it turns out to be benign to having made a fuss and got concern - when she is actually going through it. So I understand your mixed feelings.
