Hi everyone. I am a 39yr old mother of one and found an indent on my breast around 3 weeks ago. On further checking I also found a lump. I have always thought that I was good at checking my breasts but obviously not. I went to the docs last Monday who referred me to the breast clinic at the hospital and I had my appointment on thursday. At my local hospital they have almost a one stop shop in which I was able to get to speak to a consultant, got an ultrasound, mammogram and ended up having to have core biopsy. Consultant confirmed that there is definitely a lump at the bottom of my breast that is measuring 2cm on the mammogram. To be honest I think I am still in a state of shock as half expected to be told it was nothing to worry about and didn’t ask any questions and didn’t take anyone with me. I have no family history of bc.
They also took some bloods to check me for anemia, kidney & liver function. Is this normal procedure?? I have to go back next Thursday for the results, I did ask the consultant what he thought but he wouldn’t commit all he did say was that the lump could be surgically removed. To be honest in my heart of hearts I’m preparing for the worst… How did everyone cope with the waiting?
