Breast lumps and lump in axilla

Hey people.. not sure if this is the right place to ask but I'm a little worried.. a few years ago I was diagnosed with fibrocystic breasts. I don't check as often as I should but a couple weeks ago I felt a lump that wasn't a normal lump, then I found another one. Went to the doctors and she did the normal 'don't tell me where they are' so I didn't.. she found the lumps I went for but also found more and also found one on my armpit (axilla I think) she referred me for an urgent breast screening and my appointment is on Friday. When they called to discuss the appointment they said I would get the results at the appointment. I'm just wondering if I do have breast cancer does that mean I will be told at the appointment or will I have to wait for more tests? They said that I will more than likely be checked by a specialist and will go for either an ultrasound, mammogram or MRI maybe even all 3. 
thanks for any advice x

  • Hi there

    Sorry to hear that you find yourself in this worrying situation. I was recalled for a mammogram a couple of months ago and was told the results at the time so yes it is possible you may be told so do take someone with you for support if you are able. I wasn't aware I would be told there and then and was alone which was pretty tough. 
     

    It's easy to say but try not to worry too much, keep yourself busy, focus on the positive and remember it may just be a precaution and be clear but wise to get it checked out.

    Hope all goes well, best wishes x
