Terrified - awaiting biopsy results

Hey everyone,

I recently found a lump in my left breast and was referred by my GP to the breast clinic. I had an ultrasound and confirmed it wasn’t a cyst (which the GP originally thought it was) and had 3 biopsies taken and I’m now awaiting the results! I’m absolutely terrified that it could be cancer and although I was told that due to my age it’s unlikely to be cancerous (i’m 26) but I can’t help but thinking the worst and my mind is running riot! Has anyone else been in a similar situation? I’m due to find out the results either next week or the week after with a follow up appointment in just under two weeks.

Thanks in advance! :)

  • I'm in the same boat at the moment, found a lump in my right breast, was originally told to wait a couple of months to see if it disappeared after a couple of cycles. It didnt so was referred to the breast clinic. Had US and biopsies, there was actually 2 lumps attached to each other in the shape of an 8 was told it could possibly be a fibroendema. Was due to go on monday for results and to discuss having the lumps removed, but recieved a call to say that I need to have further biopsies as the biopsy results didnt reflect what the US shown. They wouldn't tell me over the phone what the biopsies showed. So now I'm absolutely petrified. The waiting is the worst, and the not knowing. I'm literally going out of my mind thinking the worst, and I've now got to wait until wednesday as there is no one there on monday to do the extra biopsies. 

    I've not slept properly since my original breast clinic appointment and after the phone call yesterday I'm in complete meltdown. 

  • I’m so sorry you’re in the same boat! I can completely relate, the waiting is the worst part. Literally every negative thought has gone through my head and much as I try to act normal and get on with life it’s like there’s a huge black cloud hanging over and I find myself all of a sudden having a major meltdown. Keeping my fingers crossed that you have positive news and it’s all clear!

    Best wishes,

    Ali :)
