Hi I just wanted to update you all on my appt yesterday. I did post yesterday on my thread but it looks like it hasn’t been seen.
So yesterday morning I got the results back from my first FNA biopsy. Benign Fibroadenoma. Phew!
Yesterday afternoon I went to the other hospital and had 5 biopsies done. FNA on another suspected fibroadenoma and 4 core biopsies on the lump behind the nipple which isn’t presenting itself as its usual type. Possible papilloma ? It also has unusual cystic space around it. Does anyone know what that means ? Or has anyone else had similar ?
im back to the waiting bench now til next Monday… Feeling exhausted and quite low after a terrible nights sleep and lots of pain after the core biopsy. So fed up with waiting it will be 9 weeks next Monday since finding my first lump and i think its all just getting on top of me. 
Any uplifting advice will be gratefully recieved. Thanks to anyone in advance xx

Hey Sara
I am so pleased that you’ve had some good news. You need to try and relax a little but try and keep yourself busy until Monday.
The time will pass quickly.
Good luck & take care

Thank you Martha and Poemsgalore. I’m just having a down day today and feel mentally drained. Im sure il feel a bit better tomorrow Ive got a few busy days coming up with my sons birthday. He’s having some friends over for a tent sleepover on Saturday. (God help me! lol ) Please pray for dry weather! Its been pouring down all day today.
Martha I want to wish you all the very best for tomorrow. Will have everything crossed for good news xx
How are you feeling ?? I’ve just read your post and see you have and fluid in your boob. I hope they can sort this out tomorrow for you. Xx
PG I hope that your treatment is going well. I often read your posts and find you amazing. So upbeat and full of kind words for everybody. So much respect for you and all the other ladies on here fighting this horrible disease.
Stay strong both of you xxx
Take care xxx
Hi Smileyfaces,
Really pleased to hear your good news. I hope the pain from the biopsies has subsided a bit now.
I didn’t really gaet much pain from mine but I’m pretty bruised. My boob is now a lovley shade of yellow so is looking very beautiful 
I hope the camp-out goes well tomorrow. My daughter did the same for her birthday last summer. My OH and I stayed in a another tent so we could be close at hand if needed. It was a real eye-opener listening to what 10 year olds talk about when think no adults can hear them 
Good luck for Monday - Im sure all will be fine and hopefully all the anxiety and stress will be a distant memory.

Hi sue! Thanks for the MSG. Yes my boob is a nice 50 shades of yellow now! Lol
I think the tent sleepover will have to be cancelled as the weather isn’t good. Instead il let them camp out in the lounge. Pizzas and DVDs at the ready! 
How are you doing now ? Hope you are ok xx
im dreading the results on Monday. My horrible gut feeling just won’t go away! Trying so hard to keep busy to make the time go quicker.
Roll on Monday!!

Hi Sara. We really do learn how to be patient in this process don’t we?! Hopefully you’ll have a fun weekend (earplugs and more patience ready I hope!) and Monday will be here before you know it. Once you know what you’re dealing with you’ll feel a bit better.
Take care. Xx
Hi Sara,
Hope you son has a great birthday. Shame about the weather for the camp-out. I’m sure they will have just as much fun indoors anyway. Might be a bit of a sleepless night for you (but I guess we’ve all had quite a few of those recently anyway)!
Monday will soon be here and I’m sending lots of luck to you for your results - it all sounds positive so try to push those negative thoughts to the back of your mind and enjoy your weekend.
I’m doing Ok. My surgery is booked for the 31st May. I’m keen to get the lump removed. Even though I have been told it is not cancer I’m still scared that they will find something else when they take it out and do the full pathology. It’s so hard to shift the negative thoughts - maybe I should take some of my own advice and concentrate on the positives!!!
Have a great weekend. I’ve heard Pinot Grigio goes very well with birthday cake
love
Sue

Lol yes Mr Pinot has become my best friend ! 
We have been out bowling, had pizzas, krispy kreme doughnuts and I’ve now gone to bed and left the boys to it. With vino in hand of course!..
I totally understand your fears regarding the lump being taken out. I am totally the same. If the 3 lumps that they suspect as multiple fibroadenomas is what they are (one defo is) then I want them out. And the other, if it comes back as a papilloma then I want that out too. Hate knowing I have 4 lumps in my breast regardless of whether they are benign are not. It’s bloody worrying ! From what I have read on the benign forums on here, fibros and papillomas can hide cancer. When I asked my radiologist what they planned for next step if all the lumps came back as benign he said they would leave well alone. WTF?? I was so not happy with this and will push for removal on Monday. Leaving them in there will not give me peace of mind giving what I have read on this site.
Did you ask for yours to be removed ? Or did they suggest it? It seems from what I’m readin that every clinic varys.
Melrose15- thank you for your msg. Earplugs are at the ready! midnight im sure they will go in lol…and yes definitely, patience is something We have all had to learn… It really does suck!
Ive just had a peak at your profile and can see your are having treatment. I wish you all the very best in this and hope you are as best as you can be. Xx
Take care

Hi Sara - hope you managed to get some sleep last night. I’m up early waiting for the shops to open. I don’t know if it was the ‘staring death in the face’ thoughts I have been having but I went a bit mad yesterday and had all of my hair chopped off. I like the new style and should have beeen content with that one change. However, I then had the mad idea that I would dye it red! As you can see from my photo I am naturally very blonde so now I have PINK hair. OMG, OMG - got work tomorrow - have to do something about it before then!! Been desperately Googling to see how to get rid of it. Found product that might help strip it so I’m just hoping my local Boots store stocks it. Otherwise I might have to pull a sicky tomorrow and try to get to a hairdresser. I wish I could upload a photo - it is hilarious!!! My daughter keeps bursting into laughter when she sees me!
Anyhow - regarding my lumpy friend - my consultant told me straight away that it would be removed. Mine might be a fibro or a phyllodes tumour. The only thing he said was that if the pathology showed it was a phyllodes that I would need another op to have some extra tissue taken to make sure there was a clear margin as if bits of the phyllodes were left they could become cancerous. I told him to take a clear margin during the op anyway. I want it all done and dusted in one go. It might mean I have to wear a small prosthesis in future (because the lump plus a margin would be quite big) but I don’t really mind.
I’m keeping everything crossed for you for tomorrow. If you’re not happy with the treatment that your consultant is suggesting you must speak up. Being anxoius and stressed is not good for you. Ask for a second opinion if needs be. I know it can be a bit ‘embarrasing’ to try to tell a doctor thier own job but you have to do what is right for you.
Take care, will speak again soon,
love
Sue AKA Pinky 
Omg pink hair!! Lol would look good at a race for life - I hope you have managed to find the product you were looking for. I dyed my hair red last year but it didn’t quite look how I wanted it. Looked a bit ginger to be honest. I’m naturally light brown. Am now half way through growing it out! Looks like I’ve dip dyed it ! Lol
Sleepover went exactly as expected. Zero sleep Whatsoever ! Lol very tired today Zzzzzzz … Still, they enjoyed themselves so that’s all that matters.
I will def push for removal of lumps tomorrow regardless of what they are. I just can’t wait I to get this all over with now!
I will let you know as soon I’m outta of there. Thanks again for the good luck wishes xx
Speak soon Pinky! xx
Love Sara xx
Hi Sara,
Thinking about you today - let us know how you get on.
Sue xxx
P.S. The pink has gone - hair is now like straw (in both colour and texture)!
I’ve got the all clear! Multiple benign fibroadenomas! Over the moon! :-)))
Thank you to everyone that has given me their support over the last few weeks. You have all been a massive help, just knowing you were there helped loads. Massive respect for all the lovely ladies here fighting this horrible disease. May you all continue to battle on and kick its ass! Xx I feel a bit guilty I won’t be joining the cancer ride but I will still keep coming on here to offer support. This site has really opened my eyes and if I can offer my support to anyone then I will xx
Sue I’m so glad you managed to get the pink out! I’m sure you will get it back to tip top condition soon.
I didn’t ask about the removal of the lumps today. To be honest I was so over the moon it was all clear I just wanted to get out of there. Had to wait two hours to be told which totally did my head in! Anyway I will speak to my Gp about it when I’ve completely chilled out! Need to get back to normal and get my strength back up now as not been eating or sleeping well. I felt very reassured with consultants results So for now ill just leave it but keep a close eye on any other changes.
Thank you again for your support Hun. Speak soon xx
Hi Sara,
