Fast growing Breast Cancer

had a breast cancer scare 5 years ago. I had all the tests; mammograms, scans & lots of biopsies on my left breast. At the time I was told it was just cysts & discharged. 2 years later I had a negative mammogram.

My next routine mammogram is due next month. However I felt a hard area in my left breast and have just come home from the breast clinic.

I have been advised that I probably have breast cancer as the mammogram & scan have shown a suspicious mass of about 5cm. I'm now waiting for biopsy results (they also took a sample from a lymph node under my armpit )

I'm worried sick.

Has anyone else experienced such a fast growing tumor. How come it didn't show up on my last mammograms? I've never missed one.

  • Hi I'm 29 years old. Got referred to breast clinic after discovering a large lump in left breast. Got a mammogram ultrasound and biopsy from the lump and under my arm to be told I had cancer. A week later I went back to get results of what stage to be told it's NOT cancer but inflammation and abscess!! I've been living a nightmare. Try not to stress xx 

  • Hi Mel,

    It is a difficult time waiting for biopsy results. I'm really pleased that you haven't got cancer it must have been such a relief after all the worry. Thank you for taking time to message me.

    Big hug from Lily
