Hi all, i had my son 10 weeks ago and i am 21. I found a marble sized lump in the top of my left breast a when he was 17 days old. I went to the docs who told me to leave it a week, then a month to see if it went as i was breast feeding etc. Well went back last week and she wasnt happy that the lump hadnt gone and today i went to the local breast clinic. I saw the doc and he felt it and said he wasnt too worried as i had just had a baby etc but to be sure to send me for a ultrasound. The lady who scanned it was very vague and said she couldnt tell me for sure if it was a cyst so a biopsy was needed, she did a core biopsy which now after reasearching seems to be the one they do when they think its breast cancer. The lump looked like a jelly bean 1cm by 5mm and moves ever so slightly when pushed. I have to wait till friday for the results but i am petrified. ![]()
Hi the hun, im sorry to hear your so upset, it must be such an upsetting and worring time for you. You did the right thing by going back to your doctor. I too have had a core needle biopys i get my results on Thursday. I hope everything comes back all clear for you. I know its hard to say not to worry, but i too am the same, you cant help but worry. You did the right thing coming on here, everyone on here are soo nice and supportive. Im sorry i couldnt be more help. Let me know how things go on Friday.
Will be thinking of you

Hi funkyfish, the waiting is not easy, we’ve all been there and know how you feel and saying don’t worry is pointless! But keep busy and focus on your lovely new baby and friday will soon be here and hopefully bring good news. Comon here to rant and worry its a big help! Take care love Debs xxx
Hi Funkyfish,
Try to keep yourself busy to keep your mind off waiting, Try to focus on the here and now and not the could be. You have a beautiful baby boy who needs his mum and I’m sure he’s the perfect distraction. How you’re feeling is completely normal and we have all been in the situation you’re in now, but there have been lots of women who have been in this situation and aren’t on this site because they’ve had a negative result. The tests they’re doing are routine, so take comfort in the knowledge that the medical team are doing all the nesesary tests to get the exact picture. I hope everything goes well on Friday, we will be thinking of you and Shelly.
Take care
Hugs

Hi guys, thanks for your responses. Do you think its likely to be because i was breast feeding etc? Im just so scared and feel like im walking around in a teary daze, i just keep breaking down and then i feel stupid because its not like i have been told any bad news but i just dont want to leave my son etc. What doesnt help is that i have no family or friends close to where i live, they all live 40 mins away and my fiance is at work so im on my own this week ![]()
Hi Funkyfish - sorry that you are having to go through this. But its good that your GP has got your appointments pretty quickly and you have been told when you will get the results - hopefully all will be ok and you can get back to enjoying your new baby boy.
The waiting is horrendous and I can guarantee that everyone one here will have their own experience of that - and how difficult it can be - I also understand how lonely it can be at this time, I live in Spain with no family or really close friends here so its been very difficult, plus I have the language barrier to contend with! I think the forum has proved to be a sanity saver for me! and given how you feel alone I would advise using it as much as you want to … its amazing how sharing thoughts and feelings so openly on here can help with the isolation.
Fingers crossed for you later this week when you get your results.
Take care
