Awaiting biopsy results-terrified

Hi all,

I am new here. I have had some nipple concerns on nd off for a few months now, went to the gp 3 weeks ago who said she wasn't particularly concerned by it but would examin my breast anyway. She then went on to say she could feel a "thicker area" on that breast but that it felt soft and moveable which again she wasn't too concerned about but considering i had the nipple concern on the same breast it would probably be best to refer me just to check.

I had my breast clinic appointment yesterday, the dr again said he wasnt concerned about my nipple but that he could feel the lump the dr had mentioned but again said it was likely to be nothing sinister. I had an ultrasound where she then said there was definitely something there and that it could possibly be a fibroadenoma however it is impossible on an ultrasound do differenciate between that and something more nasty so she wanted to do a biopsy and a mammagram. So i had these done and the next thing i find myself back in with the dr and a breast nurse. The dr sayin he is so suprised as he thought wouldnt be anything but not actually telling me what they think it is. And then the breast nurse talkin to me about what could happen as if i was already diagnosed, she then did say obviously at the moment we dont know so we need to wait now for the biopsy results, which i aparently wont get till next Wednesday. I am shocked, scared,terrified, allll the feelings. I cant understand how i have gone from not even knowing i have a lump...to being told by 2 drs they not concerned to suddenly being sat here awaiting a possible cancer diagnosis. Not really sure what i am hoping for from this post just needed to write it down. X i am 35 and have two gorgeous girls and i can't even begin to imagine how i will cope.

  • Hello, 

    I am 38, married with 2 sons, i was told I had breast Cancer 6 weeks ago after thinking it was a cyst.

    this waiting will be the worst you feel, it's the not knowing that is the hardest part. I just want to reassure you and say that at your next appointment they will know what they are dealing with and have a plan of action. I hope that you get good results and it's not what you fear.

    They told me there and then that it was Bc before I had got my biospy results I was on my own.
    Take some deep breaths.

    I hope that it's not BC but when you get your results you can alway check in with me if you need too.

    Love Sarah x
