I have been told that lump is suspicious?!

Hello, 

I found a lump in my breast 6 weeks ago. Attended the docs and they sent me away as I was under 30 and currently pregnant. I went back with concerns last week, was told the same thing again but this time they referred me to put my mind at ease. 

I attended my appointment yesterday, and the consultant said “yes it feels very innocent” but sent me for an ultrasound to be on the safe side. I had 3 biopsies taken from the same lump. I was then told I would need to come back next week but I had to speak to the consultant again. He then told me that the lump was very suspicious and I should prepare to start thinking about the pregnancy and how I am going to move forward with it. Obviously this almost knocked me off my chair as I had gone through the whole process being told, it’s nothing to worry about. 

Should I be worrying based on what was said. I don’t know anyone else who has been through this. I go back on Thursday but the wait is just too much to handle. I really just want to try and get my head around what might be going on. 

Has anyone had a similar experience? What happened? 

Many Thanks 

Hi L

 

First a big hug. You must be going through all kinds of hell and I can’t imagine what it must be like to be pregnant at the same time. I can’t answer your questions - our personal experiences here are all very different, as well as very similar. I just didn’t want you to feel ignored with your first post.

 

The wait is awful. You’ve managed the last few days, you’ll manage these next three days. Whatever you do, avoid googling anything but do make sure you take someone with you for emotional support on Thursday, just in case. Meantime, do relaxation exercises, meditations, anything to keep your mind from catastrophising at this early stage. I hope everything turns out well for you and your baby x
