I attended the breast clinic today, after an examination and ultrasound by a surgeon he was confident my lump in my left breast was nothing to be concerned about but he will organise a biopsy to be certain.
X2 biopsies done again assured it was a Fibroadenoma. I was taken into a room after the biopsies and was told that they were going to send the samples off for further testing. As in the surgeons words ‘cancer cells can wear make up and try to co fuse him’
He again said he isn’t concerned and has said it’s a 20% change cancer will be found and if it is he will take the lump out. So now just a waiting game.
Has anyone else had this? Had it confirmed as a Fibroadenoma or has anyone’s come back as cancer?
Thinking of you, not the best day for you, at the moment it’s a waiting game until the results are back, and you’re next appointment with your consultant.
Until then, take good care of yourself, good food, be kind to yourself. Fingers crossed for a good outcome.

Hey!
Hope you are doing ok!
I had my appointment at the breast clinic on Saturday and now I’m driving myself mad over thinking.
The surgeon initially said fibrodenoma, sent me for an ultrasound and said they would most likely discharge me there. Went for the ultrasound sound (it was a different Dr) and he said ‘there is definitely a lump we need to biopsy’. I was so focused on just being cool calm and collected I didn’t ask any questions!! Now I’m wondering did the lump look suspect or are they just being cautious. I’m pretty sure it was a core biopsy as they took 3 samples and it sounded like a stapler. They then sent me back to the surgeon and said he would explain the next steps, but again he seemed totally chilled and still seemed to think fibrodenoma.
I wish I’d asked more questions now! Hopefully the surgeon is right and it’s nothing to worry about, I’m 31 with no family history. Week on Monday in the afternoon they said to expect results, so that will be 7th.
I’ll keep everything crossed for a positive outcome for you too and hopefully not too long to wait!
What a lovely positive forum
The waiting game is the hardest part of our treatment we all run away with our thoughts, also we all forgot the most important questions, I would suggest you have a notepad and pen to hand to scribble down anything that comes into your head so you can run this passed your team.
Try to keep busy in the next few days, all very easy for me to say when you’re feeling so anxious be kind to yourself,
Fingers crossed for a good outcome, with health and happiness ahead. Please let us know how you’re getting on.
Hi im awaiting results for thursday its so stressfull, had mammogram, ultra sound and biopsy for a concerning area, feels like forever for the result’s x
Hi i got my result’s yesterday, caught early so stage one. Awaiting to be booked in for surgery and then radiotherapy afterwards, not sure how many radiotherapy sessions yet depends on outcome from surgery. Hope yr result’s come back positive and you dont have too long to wait, i found that the most stressful time, especially if u start to google xx
So sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
As strange as it sounds, yes once you know what you are dealing with somehow it feels a bit easier.
My diagnosis and treatment plan I was given at the start was the same as yours and thankfully remained the same throughout. For me dealing with the physical demands of my treatment was the easy bit, but I underestimated the impact on my mental health.
Thankfully these forums and other available support made me realise it’s OK to ask for help and I got through it: four years on life is good
Wishing you all the best for your upcoming treatment
I am new to this site and only saw it yesterday. The love and support I have seen from everyone seems very genuine and hence why I am reaching out in need to some TLC.
I had a mammogram done on 27th June, and got a call back for another mammogram and ultrasound the week later. They discovered microcalcifications from my last mammogram had grown from 3 specks to a cluster over 20mm big. They booked me in for a stereotactic biopsy last Monday. Results are in but have to see the consultant on Monday. I am very anxious as my mum had cancer very similar to what I am going through and she had to have a mastectomy. The doctor who looked at my mammogram said on a grading from 1 to 5 mine looks like a 3 or 4. Does anyone know what this could possibly mean as she did not explain anything?
Hi,
I always sympathise so much more with people that have seen a parent of family member go through this before experiencing it themselves as i feel you have a first hand insight of what may be to come and sometimes ignorance really is bliss and you are robbed of that in a sense so im sending an extra lot of love your way
Grading of an ultrasound or mammogram is usually the BIRADS scale. 5 is that they are pretty much certain it is cancer they see. However, i have seen people say they were rated Birad 1! And still had cancer. And vice versa, rated Birad 4 and it turned out to be benign so i wouldnt say its accurate.
I believe it is based off how many factors on the scan are concerning and point to cancer.
This is assuming that she meant BIRAD (which is the only thing i can think but cannot guarantee) xxxz
Welcome to the forum, we are here with love and support for you, unfortunately at the moment it’s the waiting game for you, which can be the worst time, not knowing if your coming or going.
As newhere30 has pointed out with some excellent advice, also your breast cancer care nurse at the hospital should be a good support to you, they are very knowledgeable and caring.
Wishing you lots of luck for a good outcome, in the meantime make some notes anything that you need to run by your team as we seem to forget the most important thing on the day.
Do post again to let us know how you’re getting on. One day at a time at the moment, take good care of yourself.
Hi
Thank you so much for the reply and the love.
I truly appreciate it, I am feeling very anxious and nervous about Monday and honestly feel very alone. Many of my friends all keep saying it will be okay don’t worry, but deep down I am trying to be practical and think what if it is cancer.
I had a hysterectomy in 2018 so I know the chances of cancer after that are high especially with my mum having had one at 40 and then cancer.
It feels nice to be surrounded by people who can understand what I am going through, I do not feel isolated. I am finding it very hard to control my emotions at the moment and seem to break down all the time. I am anxious, but feel like my friends just do not understand how worrying this is for me. They are talking to me like it will not be cancer, which I am hoping is the case, but seeing as the microcalcifications have grown and clustered are a worry to me.
just a little sore and tender at the moment xx trying to stay positive xx
crossed that everything is positive news for you
