So my update from below had a call saying results are back… he wants to see me this evening at 6:30
Apparently his message was don’t be unduly worried … which tells me it’s not catatrosphic but there’s something to worry about
I’ve just cried in my yoga class
I’m not telling anyone I’m going to go on my own and tell them when I know something
I’m scared **bleep**less
Xx
Hello
I’m new here to the group. And I’m sorry for the essay ?
This year I had a recall from a smear test and ended up having a colposcopy and a biopsy which came back clear. While I was waiting for these results I decided to start checking my breasts ie a cancer scare shocked me to it. I felt a lump but said and I’d nothing as thought I was just being over aware. Once my cervical biopsy came back clear I made the appointment for my bupa 3 year medical work pay for (they had been chasing me but I put if off until after all the hospital stuff was over). Well as I’d hit 41 I was offered a mammogram- I thought yes good idea then I know what I feel is normal and gives me a baseline
10 days later I get a call they have found something…
Last night I went to see the consultant, yes the mammogram picked up the lump in my left breast but apparently there was a larger mass in my right ? after an examination I went straight for an ultrasound where the doctor is kind of certain the left is a fibroadenoma however the larger mass on the right isn’t. I then had 6 core biopsy’s taken … I took no-one with me as wasn’t expecting that and also I saw what the cervical scare did to my mum. To say I’m in shock is an understatement.
My dressing is covered in blood as obviously from one of the sites I’ve bled heavil - is this normal?
Why did I have core biopsy instead of needle is that a sign?
Did I use up all my luck getting a negative cervical biopsy?
So scared second time in 4 months going through this
That felt good to write it all down - even if no one reads it
