Hello, desperately trying not to panic and so decided I would post on here as having had a quick read of other posts, this seems like a lovely supportive place to be right now.
I recently found a lump on my right breast and was referred to the Breast Clinic where I went yesterday. Boobs were too dense so mammogram showed nothing so had to have an US during which they told me the lump was not a concern and just breast tissue so I felt amazing but then he moved the machine over and said he needed to a biopsy as was concerned about another area above the lump. So had the biopsy but am now just sick with worry and don’t know what to do with myself!
Had to go back to see the consultant after the biopsy and he said they weren’t overly concerned but he couldn’t give me any reassurance which I fully understand but I keep playing that over and over in my mind.
I realise that there is nothing I can do but wait and I guess in that time posting on here made me feel a little less alone so thank you for reading.
Results should be here in 2/3 weeks by letter they said - does anyone know what that will look like? Will it be an appointment letter- I imagine they won’t tell you the news in a letter but I have no idea.
Welcome to the forum @tryingnottogoogle
You might also want to post in the Appointments and waiting for test results section of the forum for some support while you are waiting , once the nurses reply to you this thread will be closed. I’m sorry you are having to go through this lots of people on the forum who understand how it feels . Hoping for a positive outcome for you but if not lots of support here .
Thank you so much for replying and yes I will do that now. I am rubbish with technology so am very grateful for your help! And thank you for the support too 🩷
Sorry you are feeling anxious waiting for the results of the biopsy. It’s not nice and the waiting is always the hardest time.
I’m sure your team will call you in to tell you the results. Did they give you a number for a breast care nurse, I was given one, so I could call them if I had any questions.
The BCN nurses work Mon - Fri 9-4 Sat 9-1. You can phone and talk this through as well 0808 800 6000.
MacMillan also have a helpline that is 7 days a week 8-8 0808 800 0000.
Thanks so much for replying. Very grateful 🩷 and yes maybe I will get a call. Just want time to speed up so I know where I am whereas normally I need more hours in the day! Thank you for your support
