Hi all. I first found a lump in my breast around June of this year. As I have very lumpy breasts and a history of cysts I left it for a while. In September I made a private appointment with a breast consultant who sent me for scan. The scan didn't show anything. The consultant said that he could definitely feel a lump and made a follow up appointment for 6 weeks later. At that appointment the consultant showed no concern and was very kind and professional and told me not to worry it will be fine. At my follow up consultation the lump is still there so he sent for a further scan but wanted me to see a different radiologist. This radiologist found the lump straightaway and told me it needed to be biopsied, he also said I needed a mammogram. At this point I started to worry as this was not what I was expecting. I had the mammogram and scan then had severa core biopsies taken. The radiologist appeared concerned but would not give me a definite answer to my questions whether it is cancerous. He did say that the lump was very small and if it is cancerous then it has been caught early!!He said only pathology will determine what the lump is. I was then sent back to the breast consultant who expressed his concern. He told me that when I walked out of the room for my scan he had to put his head in his hands for 5 minutes before he could see his next patient. He said he knew I would have a problem!! We spoke about possible surgery and an MRI and gene testing as my mum passed away from breast cancer. I am now waiting for results and have a follow up next week. I am feeling anxious but generally ok just wondering what the results will be. I have sort of resigned myself that it will be cancer but am positive it will early stages.
