[@KristyE]‍ hi lovely, i had inverted niple but no lump. I had mammogram and they found small 0.7 mm lump behind the niple. I hope your case it's different...Best of the best to be checked, good luck for tomorrow. X

Hi,

thanks for your reply, was yours cancers? Did they tell you the same day?x

@KristyE, i did mammogram ultrasound and biopsy on the same day, after two weeks i get results of biopsy. Not everyone have cancer even with lump, so everyone case very different. But I really understand you ... at the moment you just need to take step by step. Let me know gow it your appointment tomorrow.x

Hi Anna,

I've just been think the worse and planning for the worse I had read somewhere that at the breast clinic they tell you that day even if you still have to wait the biopsy result, which is what I had be planning for some have my kids coming round tomorrow for "dinner" so I can tell them the bad news all together, if it's not bad news then that's great and I've just had my kids altogether for dinner, but now I thinking if they don't tell me and that I have to wait another 2 weeks for result, I will have to tell the kids separately and probably on the phone, as I know if I try to plan again for them to come round they would know something was up, just trying my hardest not to worry them for nothing I will let you know how today goes.x

Hi [@KristyE]‍ i know what a worrying time it is but finding out one way or the other still feels weirdly better than the uncertainty. I too had an indent on my left breast with no lump and was told at the clinic that it was highly likely to be cancer and was given a nurse to talk to on the day. I had to wait about 10 days for the biopsy result which was complicated in my case as not completely conclusive but they were pretty sure it was cancer and went ahead with operation to get it out anyway.

Mine turned out to be a rare form of breast cancer called Tubular Carcinima which tends to not be felt as a lump (but was pulling on the skin and causing the indent). It was tiny at only 3mm and had a 5mm bit of DCIS next to it. 
 It's more common I think to be told you'll need to wait for your biopsy result and they only say on the day if they are very certain it looks cancerous.

Wishing you well and if it does turn out to be bad news then it feels better to get a treatment plan in place and know you are in good hands.

Thinking of you for today xx

Hi kiwirunner 

weirdly I'm fine with if it's bad news my mum had breast cancer almost 20 years ago and she got through it, and science had come so far since then, it is the unknown that I'm struggling with and telling my kids, one will not cope with it whats so ever and I worry about her another is trying for a baby and I really don't want this to upset that, the other 2nd eldest is strong and she will solider through and help out anyway she can then I have the 2 younger ones 13 and 8, I dont think the 8 year old will understand it so thinking, if just explaining it as I have to have a bug that needs removing that's making me sick and the 13 year old well think she will b like the eldest and not cope at all. Don't know if it's normal but I'm am more worried about telling everyone that needs to know if it's bad news then finding out the news, also did they tell you they thought it was cancer with out the biopsy or did you have to wait the 10 days to be told that it was most likely to b that?x

They found a lump, and I've Had biopsy done booked in for the results next Wednesday.x

@KristyE, most of the times biopsy is  not a cancer, i hope that for you x

Thank you, I think with the Inverted nipple and dent and now the lump it only means one thing which is fine with, and I think I'm getting over my fear of telling everyone, cancer happens life through us stuff and we just have to deal with it I'll keep u posted.x

Hi [@KristyE]‍ I'm sorry to hear re your experience with a lump identified and then biopsies taken. I was told then and there it looked likely to be cancerous but the wait either way is horrendous so I do empathise with what you are going through. It is tough telling family and friends and it's natural to worry about them - particularly your children. Mine were 16 and 18 at the time and they both handled it quite differently.

You are in the really tough stage of all the unknowns at the moment. Once you have confirmation of where things are at it actually feels better to have a plan. And of course there is a good chance it may be good news.

I won't say don't worry as that's unrealistic but do take time to do things that make you feel good while you wait for results day.

Take care and hang in there. Keep us posted xx
