Waiting for breast biopsy result

Hi

I had a breast biopsy and mammogram done last week and have spent the last 6 days in complete fear of the results. After the biopsy and mammogram I was called back into a room with the doctor and a bcn to be told the mammogram was very worrying as the mass looked highly suspicious. As a 42 year old mother of 2 I have been beside myself with worry it’s been with me 24/7 and anxiety levels through the roof!

Today I got my results (I was literally crying on the way into doctors room) it’s not breast cancer, it’s a Fibroadenoma. I wanted to share this so that anyone going through this awful time can see suspicious lumps don’t always mean cancer. I also want to wish everyone good luck whatever their outcome xx

  • Hi I am so pleased for you! Yours is the third lot of good news I have read on this forum today! It really does help so many going through the early stages. I myself after a lumpectomy was given good news that my was in fact benign. Just remember to keep checking yourself but for now get a good nights sleep!! X 

  • Thanks beach babe, glad you had a positive result too. There’s so many brave ladies out there going through hell and I never realised until this experience. I’m so thankful for this fresh start just wish I could help others going through this xx

    Hi Sazcop,

    This is fantastic news. I missed your post yesterday, but you're the fourth person yesterday to get good news. In the many years that I have been on this site, I have never known so many good results all in a row.

    I am sure that you are mightily relieved. A scare like this can help you to focus on what is really important in life. Now, go and enjoy family life with your hubby and 2 young children, but don't forget to check yourself regularly.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

  • I was in a very similar situation just days before Christmas, I was given the news I need a hospital visit after my first mammogram, a further scan showed a solid lump and a biopsy was taken within minutes, this was a total shock, and I left the hospital terrified.

    The next week was so worrying, and if my friend hadn't come with me I don't know how I would have coped with going for the results.

    I was told I have a Phyllodes tumor, I was told they think it is benign and was booked in for surgery on 3rd of Jan... scared again as never had an opperation.

    All done now and waiting for reults of op, 2 days to go... still scared although I should be releived it could be so much worse and feel stupid for being so worried.

    I wish all the ladies on this site well with their treatment and thank them for sharing their experiences as it has helped me cope x

  • The waiting is the worse part. Fingers crossed for you. I was like that after my lumpectomy after my biopsies results were inconclusive. Please let us know how you get on x

    Hi Weewitchie,

    A warm welcome to our forum.

    Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I am glad to hear that you have had your surgery and are now waiting for the pathology results. It is always a scary time waiting for results and you are certainly not stupid. Nearly all of us find our emotions are all over the place at this stage.

    Fortunately, you don't have much longer to wait now.

    I'll be thinking of you on Thursday and, hope that you are bringing someone with you to your appointment again.

    Please update us when you get your results.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

  • Thank you for sharing [@Sazcop]‍ I'm delighted that you got good news.

    I'll be a my breast clinic appointment on Thursday and know I may then have to wait a week or two for any results. I'm also a mum of two so it's a worrying time, but I'm trying to remain optomistic. Reading your post has helped with that :-)

  • Hi lucy

    it’s great if you can be as positive as you can as I think my little one (5 yrs) definitely picked up something wasn’t right. The waiting is both frustrating and terrifying but it’s true what everyone on here says try and keep busy and get out as much as you can as it’s a distraction. I found google and the middle of the night we’re my worst enemies

    whatever the outcome Lucy good luck, statistics are well on your side xx

  • Hi weewitchie 

    its a horrible time isn’t it, you just want to hear it’s all fine! You’re bound to be worried as you’ve been through a lot already in a short space of time, it’s like a bloody whirlwind of nightmares sweeping through your life.

    sending you big wishes for Thursday I’ll also be looking on here to see how you got on xx
