Confused and scared...

First time poster: 

Today I went for my first mammogram (43)  after finding a small lump last Sat.  Within 3 hours I had had a mammogram,  2 ultrasounds,  extra arm pit ultrasound and 3 biopsies....... not what I thought.  I'd convinced myself it was shrinking and was hormone related!

Now have a week to wait on the results although the doctor said 25mm lump was worrying,  calcification on the other breast too.... 

Don't know what this really means! How worried should I be? Can it still be nothing? 

Thanks for reading xx

  • Hi Lunatic21,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sure this must have been unsettling to have all these tests when you weren't expecting them - but it is good to be thorough, and it sounds as if you don't have long to wait for the results.

    Try not to assume anything and while waiting try to keep yourself busy to keep your mind off things - often easier said than done I know.

    There will be others here who have been through something similar so hopefully you'll receive further replies soon. We're always here for support.

    Wishing you all the best,
