Potential infected cyst, but biopsy taken

I found a lump and had some pain last week - i had an appointment this morning, doctor was convinced it was a cyst but after mammogram and ultrasound a second doctor saw something of concern. Tried to aspirate the cyst, some fluid removed but not enough so biopsy taken. Thought it that something is behind the infected cyst. Doctor was pretty positive, but not sure if it was just to make me feel better. Im absolutely terrified.. im 40, have 2 small children and have a million horrific things going through my mind. 

Im not even sure what i am asking.. anyone with anything similar? 

  • Hi Klm80,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I can imagine that this must be unsettling - hopefully it won't be too long to wait for your results as I know the waiting is never easy.

    Try to keep yourself busy while you wait to help keep your mind off things as much as possible.

    I hope you're able to find out more soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
