Hi Everyone,
My name is Kim & I am new here. I went for an examination at the breast clinic yesterday, after having found a large lump a week ago.
I had the ‘Squishogram’ & ultrasound & fortunately it was just a cyst & drained.
However the was another smaller one behind it which couldn’t be aspirated, the contents appeared to be a gel like substance which has had to be sent away to be tested, I’m to go back next Wednesday & am feeling a bit scared.
Hi Kim and welcome to the group - sorry that you have had to come and join us. Glad to hear that the main lump was a cyst and that it has been taken care of. As for the smaller lump, please try not to worry as 9 out of 10 breast lumps are benign. I know it is a scary time and you will be thinking the worst and the waiting is horrendous. I hope you get the all clear tomorrow. I would advise not reading much about breast cancer at this stage as it is all too easy to read too much and scare yourself rigid.
Fingers crossed for tomorrow.
Let us know how you get on.

Thank you for the advice Lilac, I do tend to read too much about things & frighten myself!
I should have made clear, it’s not tomorrow I have to go back, but NEXT wednesday 2nd July.
Sorry I assumed Wednesday meant tomorrow - you will have a long week ahead of you then and that is the worst thing about this whole situation, the waiting and not knowing is very worrying. I do hope that you get the all clear next week but whatever the result you will get loads of support from the ppl on this site - they are fantastic.
The other thing is that there is no such thing as a stupid question on here - whatever is bothering you just ask on here and someone will have an answer.
Try to keep yourself busy and not dwell on the pending result.
Hello again,
I have had my results & am sooo relieved that it is another Cyst.
Thank you for your support.
Lots of luck to everybody.
Delighted to hear that your lump was not sinister. I bet you are much relieved.
