Highly suspicious lump

Hi all, I was seen in the breast clinic last week, had an ultrasound for what I thought was going to be a clear cut cyst, turns out its definitely not a cyst! Had a mammogram and a further spot mammogram a second ultrasound and 3 core biopsies. There was an area in the lymph nodes that needed biopsy but was too close to the blood vessel to put a needle in so that wasn't done. Doctor says it's highly suspicious and introduced me to the cancer care nurse who would support me through it all. I go back next week after the MDT for the results and a plan (if needed) - it didn't sound very promising. All I can think about is how am I going to tell my kids? I'm usually such a positive person and have dealt with my fair share of health issues in the past with no issue but I can't shake this feeling that this isn't going to be a happy follow up appointment. Any advice?

  • Hi

    Sorry to hear you are going through this, I waited two weeks for my results and it's hell, it's almost a relief when they tell you and give you a plan. Try not to worry easier said than done I know. If it is not a good outcome they will help and support you and get it sorted.

     

    let us know how you get on xxx

  • Thank you for your reply, the wait is torture!! My appointment has come through and it's not until the 20th so more waiting. I'll let you know how it goes. I'm thinking of calling the breast care nurses whilst I wait- I think I may be reacting to the marker clip they left in me, is this even possible? I now have a very red, sore and quite itchy area of skin exactly where it would be which is getting bigger By the day.  

    How did you get on with your results? I hope you are doing ok 

  • Hi

    Yes definitely call them it may have caused an infection, I was told I had cancer they removed the lump and I had radio. That was nearly four years ago I go for yearly checks and on drugs for 10 years.
