Hi, I’m new to the site and would welcome a second opinion. I have found a large lump in my right breast about 3 weeks ago. GP referred me to breast clinic and they were very quick to make an appointment. I had an exam (lump really easy to feel, smooth and hard), then a mammogram (I’m 4 months short of 35 but they did one anyway) and a scan (she could not see anything, even though she could clearly feel the lump). I went on to have a biopsy and it was a nightmare. The consultant just could not break into this lump. Counted 9-10 attempts, and he managed to get two samples, although he is almost sure they are from around the lump. So I am now very confused as to what I will be told on Thu when I go in for results. Pretty sure they will say it’s nothing, but I clearly have a large lump. A cyst would have shown on scan, yet nothing there? I heard several times today that I have very dense breasts, which doesn’t feel me with hope that they will see anything… Anyone else had a similar experience? Thanks!
