Anxiously Waiting for Biopsy Results / Suspected Fibroadenoma - Need Support

Waited all day and they still haven’t called! :persevere: I’ve rang them a couple times and was told they left a message for the doctor but not heard anything. Very frustrating! And so anxious to find out the news. Hoping maybe it means it’s not that urgent… :sweat_smile: Fingers crossed they call me soon!

Finally got the call and happy to report that it’s confirmed as a classic fibroadenoma! :grinning: I will need to go back in 6 months to check if it’s grown and if it has then they may biopsy again and remove it. However they expect it to shrink and go away eventually. I did ask about getting it removed anyway as I’m a bit concerned about getting one at my age, but they advised against it as it is likely to be unnecessary and they still consider it ‘normal’ at my age. I need to think about it but I think it seems reasonable to at least initially wait and see for 6 months (appreciate any other points of view here). Overall though I’m hugely relieved. :sweat_smile:

@brun93 thinking of you for tomorrow, hope you’re doing okay.

And huge thank you to all of you for your support, it has meant so much! :heart: sending you big hugs and hope all is going smoothly for you wherever you are on your journey right now. Xx

Awh I am absolutely over the moon that you’ve had those results today! :sparkles::heart:
I’m glad they are keeping an eye and will be checking again in 6 months time, but if you notice any changes or are still feeling anxious about leaving the lump there maybe speak again with your GP?
Just because they’ve told you it’s benign doesn’t undo all the worry and stress you’ve gone through over the last few weeks. Just be kind to yourself and maybe do something lovely on the weekend :blush:

Thank you so much though hun :heart: been feeling a bit up and down today, just anxious, but hoping I’ll be reporting the same results with you tomorrow :crossed_fingers:

Sending a big hug! Xx

@sunflowerz that’s great news, I am so pleased for you. Such a big relief.

@brun93 good luck for today, will be thinking of you.

I got a call yesterday with an appointment to get my mri results - next Weds.

Hi guys, just wanted to send an update, I’ve just had my phone call appointment and it was all good news :sparkles: they said it’s a fibroadenoma and to just monitor

But just wanted to say thank you all so much for keeping me sane whilst waiting for these results :heart:

@mandyo I really hope the MRI results show there is nothing else for you! And I’m sending you lots of strength through your journey :heart:

Oh @brun93 I am so pleased for you, such a relief xxx

That’s great news!! So happy to hear. I hope you are also able to have some down-time to look after yourself this weekend after a stressful waiting period.

So grateful for this support and to be able to be there for each other virtually!

Sending big hugs to all xx

I got my MRI results, confirmed just the one small lump (1.5cm), everything else is clear. I’ve got my first appointment at the Royal Marsden on Monday to meet new consultant.

Glad to hear everything else is clear! :raised_hands:

Thinking of you for Monday xx
