I had a fine needle and core biopsy (had 6 monthly ultrasound monitoring a 5cm mass, which showed change on last ultrasound). Waited just over a week and called doctors office for results. My doctor was away so they they asked another doctor to read notes and secretary gave me results on phone.
Basically said result was non-specific cells and tissues, and to make an appointment to discuss further with the doctor (she is away and my appointment is 11th August!!).
Still nervous, as I have no idea what “non-specific cells and tissues” means - has anyone else had this diagnosis??
Hi there,
I have not had that comment, but would recommend you see your GP or ask to see another within yiour team of specialists. It may be inconclusive and norhing to worry sbout, as could be indicated by the time to your appt but this does not stop you having weeks of worry. Good luck x
Hi im new to chat rooms but i went to hospital on monday for a lump in my breast i was examined scanned and they done a biopsy they told me to cum bak fri for results but they said its nothing to worry about as its a fatty lunp…so i went 2 days ago fri by myself and they examined me again which was weird then took me into a nice room and said sorry its bad news you have bresst cancer so they scanned me again straiggt after the done a lymph node biopsy i have to go see surgeon in 2 days time on tues whats my chances of not being in kymph nodes thx everyone
hi PP,
Sorry to hear you are going through this, but I wholly endorse what Jobey says.
It could be that the Dr was reacting to you not having biopsy initially, but it came over rather more brusquely than intended, but its not your fault. Communication skills can vary somewhat with professionals.
Very best wishes for Thursday & do let us know how you get on if you want to.

I went last week to have cyst drained…ultrasound showed different lump and I was told pretty sure was nor good…I go back Thursday for results…I am not coping at all…he said prepare for worst…this week is just awful…I’ve come to work and cried in loos twice already…I guess they will test lymph nodes next? I had 3 biopsies last week…is it more painful??thinking of you and all the ladies…xx
I went to my local breast clinic last week on the 27/2/2017 . I found a lump in my left breast and was referred
very quickly by my GP.
I saw the consultant first who examined me and then sent me for mammogram and then in to have ultrasound scan.
Mammogram didn’t show much ! Went into scan and within seconds of the nurse starting to scan me the door opened and a consultant radiologist came in and introduced himself , he took over the scan and said he was concerned and could he do some biopsies. He took one under arm and three from the lump .
He said it looked suspicious ! On leaving the room I went into another room as was seen by the breast consultant and his nurse. He again said the lump looked suspicious and that I would be seen with the results the next week. He left me with his nurse and she said I was being very brave and that the “news” had probably not sunk in ??? She then told me The name of my specialist breast nurse who I will be under and that the team will meet to discuss my case and course of action ! I am there tomorrow the 7/2/2017 …
what does all this mean ? Are they preparing me for the worst news ?
Hi I’m new on here …I went for a mamosram 2 weeks ago and was called back a week later they gave me an ultra scan and then a core biopsy…on Wednesday they gave me my results they said I have a papilloma with suspected DCIS I have to see a consultant this Thursday to find out what they are going to do …I was told it would either be an operation or a breast incision…the worse part about this is the waiting I just want it over with …
I have had a very simular experience, I went on friday 12th for my breast clininc appointment, and when i was being given the ultrasound and had biopsies done on both breasts as i have a 2.5cm lump in my left breast and 4 lesions in my right , i asked if they thought it was BC she said she couldn’t confirm until biopsie results but it looked very suspicious, when i went into see the consultant he said the same but it will be surgery regardless of outcome and he offered me a BC Nurse my results will be back by tuesday and he said they would have a panel meeting and call me back wed / thurs to give me the results and treatment plan. To be honest i just want to get on with it all, i think mine will be BC. Good luck with your results xxx
I Have BC in both breasts, one is stage 1 and the other stage 2, I am having a mastectomy on my right one where i had the lesions and lump removal on my left. it sounds strange but i feel fine about it all, I think in my head i thought it was going to be the worse case senario, thinking it had spread through out my body all sorts of things your mind works overtime on while waiting for results. So the fact that it can be dealt with, I know thats not going to be pleasant or pain free and they are hoping i might not need to have chemo so to me it is all positive, hopefully 6 month to a year from now things will get back to normalish. The fight is on and I will beat this :)
I do hope you get your results soon and wish you good luck with yours xx
New here had biopsy on breast lump behind nipple las Tuesday was told it was likely to be some kind of cancer, appointment tomorrow afternoon for results and treatment plan. Absolutely terrified, had seen changes to nipple in 2014 and have seen 2 different GPs since who both told me it was nothing sinister, thinking it must have been there for years and worrying about how far it’s spread. I’ve managed to stay pretty calm up until now but really struggling tonight.
Thanks for your replies it really helps not to feel so completely on my own, hoping that after tomorrow when i have a better idea of what’s happening i might be able to at least get a decent nights sleep!
I am waiting for results of Biopsies and have scan appointments tomorrow and had a similar experience with my GP to the one you have described.I have been quite positive today but yesterday was climbing the walls.I keep thinking i have had cancer for years and not known about it and imagining the worse.I hope it works out for the best-but remember that at least something is being done.Keep your chin up and take it as it comes-it really does drive you demented.Thankyou to all the lovely people on this forum-I cannot tell you what a big help it is to be able to chat to people on here and feel like there is hope and you are not alone.I would have gone mad by now if It wasn’t for this! X
I am so glad I found this thread had a biopsy on Sunday and right now my boob is black I get results on 21st and though I am optimistic I am also under no illusions as 2 seperate consultants said it was a very suspect lump but my lymph nodes are okay. One of the consultants said he could not confirm bc without the results but I needed to understand what they were telling me so I can only conclude that bc will be the result. I too keep crying and although my husband knows I am waiting until after 21st to tell my children and parents x thank you to you all for sharing as the waiting is the worst thing imaginable right now
Keep your chin up.I don’t know how I am still going.I have been crying one minute and climbing the walls the next.This site has been fabulous and really helps with the stress.You imagine all sorts in your head.Take it as it comes and don’t google anything! I quickly learned not to google-you end up with everything if you listen to google.Read/watch Tv/have a drink do whatever you need to do to get through it.Kalms are really good as well.Good luck with everything and try to think positive and that something will get done-That’s what I have been telling myself,
All the best and chin up! The help on here is brilliant xxx
Hi, my story is very similar to yours, was told by consultant that he suspectsaid my lump is a Cancer, I had biopsysame including lymph as something should on scan which consultant couldn’t feel had liver scan got bone scan tomorrow and results on Thursday 22nd. My husband is working 400 miles away and can’t be with me (if he doesn’t work he doesn’t get paid) I am going to work too today,again financial issues are a huge worry if the worst happens and I need alot of treatment. Sometimes I think I’m felling ok so it can’t be bad but other times especially like now early in the morning when I can sleep I’m planning my funeral. I’m still needed my boys and my dad has a medical. Condition so many reasons I can’t be ill or worse! Trying not to Google as I now have self diagnosed inflammatory breast cancer (due to the fact my breast Is painful and shape changed) which is difficult to treat and reoccurring.
Hope things work out for you but I do know how your feeling ( an emotional rollercoaster). Sending a big hug xx
hi Sib,
It’s the waiting for results that is the most difficult stage in going through this, as we cant get our head around it properly until we know what we’re dealing with & what’s going to be done about it. Once this is resolved, it does get better.
You’re absolutely right not to google symptoms as it really does not help at this stage & is only unnecessarily scary.
If you need info, then use reputable sites like this one & Macmillan.
If you do get a diagnosis, then there’s loads of support from all of us here who are at your stage or have been through it.
hugs

Exactly Lizzie! welcome to the forum & good to hear you sound so positive. It sounds like you have an early diagnosis, so outcomes are excellent.
Loads of us here who’ve been through what you have & are now back to life as normal.
Do look at the ‘newly diagnosed’ & ‘going through treatment’ boards where there are others at the stage you’re at & come & chat whenever you need to.

Thankyou-You are right,you have to be positive even though it is hard sometimes.I have had my first lot of Chemo and it went well and I haven’t had many side effects yet-a bit of nausea and tired and headachey but I have taken all my meds and drunken lots of water and been eating ginger biscuits-which really help.I have Been keeping my face and body moisturised and have tried to start using cosmetics and toilet that are paraben free,just because I think they are a healthier option.By the way,Aldi do a lot of cosmetics and toiletries that are paraben free,which I was surprised at and you dont have to spend a fortune! Been out for a walk today for about an hour in the sunshine.Am just trying to stay positive and do everything I can to help myself.Being positive is so impossible and there are so many success stories that it shows you that it can be done! Thankyou to all of you for keeping me sane-this forum has helped me so much xxx
Love to all of you-we are not alone xxx
