Hi Belinda
Thank you for your kind thoughts.
Well have just got back and the good news us the lump they biopsied us benign, just normal breast tissue (although an obvious lump).
It was a different consultant from who I saw last week. I asked about the fibroadenoma’s ( previous one and suspected new one) and said I was concerned that neither had been biopsied. He said he will discuss this at his meeting this afternoon as to whether they’ll biopsy them or not and that he will write to me. I asked about the possibility of having them removed and he said no we just leave them as there will be external and internal scarring which would make future mammograms hard to read?
They were running very late and I felt like I was being rushed. Now I don’t know if I’m getting further biopsies or not. I should feel elated but I just feel so drained and still unsure. How certain can they be that these are just FA from ultrasound only?
Is it worth using my private health insurance to get a second opinion if they don’t do further biopsy or would they just think I was a time waster as already been NHS? Just wanted peace of mind today and really don’t feel I’ve got it xx
Pleased nothing nasty found on your biopsy . CAn understand your worries and if it was me I would probably look for a second opinion if your health insurance covers it - just to put your mind at rest and give you some closure. Xxx
Sorry not been on for a few days. Just had a call today. After discussing at their meeting, they are going to biopsy both FA. Am pleased with that as will (hopefully) finally get peace of mind. App on weds. Thanks again for all the support xx
Hello everyone,
I am really quite touched by the amount of support and friendship that is on this site. I am in “the waiting room” too, we are all in the same boat which in itself is comforting. I had a vacuum assisted biopsy on a suspicious area of calcifications on Tuesday after a core biopsy came back inconclusive. I have to wait until the 3rd of March to know what these are…the radiographer graded them 3 which I am told is good but I can’t help thinking about what might be around the corner.
Just reading all the comments on this site has made me realise that, whatever, we are not in this on our own!
Thank you for all being out here and very best wishes to all of you!
Hi woozy
Totally agree you can be sure you’re not alone - I got through the wait for my results without cracking up because i had such amazing support from the guys in this waiting room
My ultrasound result was graded a 3 too and i cant explain the relief when a week later the results of the core biopsy found no evidence of disease . I have my fingers crossed your result will be the same. The waiting game is tough but please take the great advice I was given on here about focussing on now , not the past or the future - be kind to yourself , keep your mind busy and occupied - I made bunting for my daughters bedroom that I’d been promising to do for ever ! Take care xx
