Breast injury turned into nightmare

So I had a breast injury 11 weeks ago then a bruise appeared after a few weeks it went , then a few weeks later I found a very tiny hard seed like lump , thought nothing of it but due to the hush risk breast cancer in my side I rang the doctor , I went to see her and she could see where I bumped it but sent me for a mama gram that turned into a ultrasound and then biopsy as not sure what it was img I convinced myself it was the injury , the only positive is lymph glands all look normal but I'm in shock as she said the lump does not correspond to where the injury was , so my emotions over last few days were all over the place I need to wait for my results she said it's not a haematoma or a cyst so I said it's Cancer then surely but she couldn't be 100% sure but, I m better today but it's still worrying 

  • Hi

    Worrying times the waiting.

    My friend has a similar story.

    She'd had a fall months before her mammogram, bumped her boob but also broke her ankle so only focused on the ankle pain.

    Never thought anymore about it.

    Had her routine mammogram and got a letter to go back. Was so scared, went back and did all the checks which turned out fine and the bump caused by the fall had shown up as something which they couldn't explain.

    All fine in the end but scary waiting.

    Hope you get it sorted soon. x

  • Hello

    So did they tell your friend the lump looked suspicious and did not tally up where she bumped her self ? I caught my left boob in the door ( stupid I know ) 30 mins later I had awful pain and when I looked my bra wire had come out and was sticking in my boob and i check my breasts every month and I was convinced it was that that caused the lump so im really shocked and dreading the result to be honest 

  • She never thought anymore of the injury. 

    She got recalled because something showed up on the image.

    At the appointment she was asked if she's ever had an injury to it and then she remembered.

    Whens your result? my friend got her recall letter on the friday so had an awful weekend before her appointment on the monday.

  • Hello

     

    i had the biopsy Tuesday this weekend but told them we are away Monday to Friday next week a phone call they said but I may be one of these that if it's not great news I ll be leaving the lump where it is as I've worked in Marie curie ( end of life) and on the Nhs and seen too many people go through difficult procedures and some have not survived anyway - Sorry , I'm great with nursing and supporting others but when it comes to myself ( like my sister just told me today ) I'm useless

  • Don't think like that.

    Might be nothing but if it is get it sorted.

    Through my cancer journey I have met so many strong people that have come through it. Sadly a few who didn't. 

    Hoping for good news but please if it isn't, fight it, life is precious.

  • Yes , I'm giving up before I even have the result 

    it's such a shock as I really convinced myself the breast injury cause it , and waiting for the phone call is the worse part of it , and yes life is very precious and too short  , when the result comes through I'm sure I will deal with it in the best way I can x

  • Hi 

    it's grade2/3 invasive ! I'm shocked to be honest and I'm fighting every appointment and the plan that is suggested but I'm trying to accept it all x

    Hi Wendy,

    I'm so sorry to hear this.Life works in curious ways - maybe your injury was meant to be because it has highlighted this? You will be shocked for a while, but things will eventually settle down. At first, you will find that you are almost in denial that all this is happening to you and, there will be a lot of 'why mes.'

    Try to remember that this is all treatable and that you are now in the best hands. Have you discussed any treatment options yet? Please keep in touch and, remember, that we are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

  • Hello

    yes, suggested route is 6 chemos ( injections start on the third one which will be 18 injections in the thigh over a year , then umpectomy followed well 5 now they are saying 15 but I will be doing the 5 as ive read 5 can be as affective as 15 ) I ve just had the breast mri scans they couldn't get the venflon in until 3rd attempt so I was already freaking out as I hate needles but my fear is gradually fading , I should have had the TWO breast lumps clips in Wednesday but just had unltrasound S the lump was sore and she said I can go back on the 22nd sept plus she was questioning why ive been told he can't take just the lumps out till mid November as she can tell im not into medical intervention as in chemo but my mind is slowly trying to decide although I ve changed my mind more then once ! Ive gone from 1% chemo option then to 99.5% back last night to 1% again now it's at 99.9% the radiologist said she will be talking to my surgeon as mid November is way to far for just lump removal so I ve not got much faith in any of them at this moment in time ! Goal posts  are moving and it's making nervous and yet they have all been Amazing but I need more advice , I may even go private to have lumps taken out , it will cost £1000s but there again I trust this Nhs surgeon 100% and he also does private work , I suspect he will ring me Tommow as I'm still confused as what to do for the best but if I leave lumps there I know it will spread so I must make my decision although I have been booked in for chemo 1st Ictober
