I was referred to breast clinic by GP due to breast pain and lumpiness! Went to the appointment yesterday, had a mammogram and ultra sound, the mammogram showed nothing but the ultra sound did, surprisingly it was nothing to do with the lumps I had felt, it was just found by chance. Then had needle aspiration as they thought it was a cyst but it didn’t go away after draining it, so they’re sending the fluid to the lab! I have to wait til 11th march for results! I’m so worried, it can only be cancer now, can’t it??

The waiting is definitely the hardest part and it doesn’t matter how many times people tell you not to worry you still will, there are however several benign conditions that it could be, you just never know until you get those official results.
Good luck and fingers crossed its nothing, janey xx
Thank you janey, it is the wait that’s the worst, I already had to wait 2 weeks for the breast clinic appointment, which I know isn’t too long but it is when you’re worried! I’m trying to stay positive xx
Hi Suz71,
The waiting is very difficult to deal with. Until you have a definitive diagnosis, it is hard to feel anything other than in limbo.
The best advice I read on this forum was to keep busy, preferably doing things you like, and to give yourself a goal the achieve before the deadline. It helps to prevent your imagination running riot and the worry demons from moving in. However, I know this very hard to do, and friends and family help too, I don’t think I have drunk as much coffee as I have in the last month!
Be kind to yourself, and remember that you have already taken the first step to get help and are well palced to deal with whatever the outcome is.
Best wishes,
MM
Thanks MM, it’s like a rollercoaster, one min I’m positive and the next I’m thinking all sorts! Although it’s awful for us all its nice to we are all in the same boat!
thanks for your support xx
Just had a call from bcn saying my results have come back as inconclusive and is classed as C1! so have to now wait for core biopsy! Does this mean its probably cancer? I’m even more scared now! Anyone else had this? x
Just wanted to say I’m in a similar situation to you (details in Waiting for Wednesday if you’re interested) and wanted to let you know I’m hating the wait for information too - they tell you so little and tell you to wait, it’s sooo hard!
Fingers crossed everything turns out well for you xx

Hi cath46, it is definitely the waiting that’s the most horrible, I was supposed to be seeing the specialist on Monday but that’s now cancelled and I’ve to wait for another biopsy appointment! I’m so worried its just awful! Hope all is ok with your results! Best wishes xx
No, that’s awful! I hope they can fit you in soon… I keep telling myself that if it was likely to be bad they’d see you sooner, so hopefully the fact that we’re having to wait is a good thing 
xx
Hey, I didnt think of it like that, that’s made me feel a bit more positive it’s such a roller coaster, fingers crossed we both get good results! Xx
It is awful waiting for results - unfortunately it is something we all end up having to do and it very easy to let your imagination run away with you. Its good advice to keep busy - preferably doing things that absorb your mind. often the time in the “waiting room” can be extended by inconclusive results, which is a pain and prolongs the agony! It is no good saying don’t worry because you will, but try not to let it consume your every waking moment. I am in the waiting room myself at the moment after several years, so I do know how you feel xx
Hi Suz71,
I have not had this classification myself, but I believe it means that they had an inadequate sample and therefore could not determine one way or the other. I would give the BCN a call and ask for clarification. It won’t be a problem and they won’t want you to live with unnecessary anxiety.
Never be afraid to ask for more information - the only stupid question is the unasked one (so they say!).
I hope you get a new appointment soon. Even if the results are not what you want, just remember that you are in the best place for treatment, and they don’t hang about. I had three weeks from first mammogram to operation, (although I do believe this was filling a cancellation!)
Best wishes,
MM
Got my appointment through for this Thursday (14th) getting nervous and now I think I can feel tiny lumps in my armpit! should I mention this at the appointment? TIA XX
Yes tell them if you think you can feel lumps
I’d tell them everything, you never know what might be helpful. x
Thinking of you today Suz, what time is your appointment? PS I’ve found out C1 just means ‘inadequate sample’, its nothing to worry about
Let me know when you’re back! xx
Thankyou Cath, appointments at 2.30pm, keep wishing this was all a bad dream! How are you feeling today?
will report back later xxx
Will have my fingers virtually crossed for you at 2.30 (I’ll be cycling home then so better not cross them for real!)
I’m feeling tired and edgy and desperately wanting to get the whole thing over and done with but am not thinking about it all the time thankfully - my 9 year old daughter keeps me smiling
Thinking of you + sending positive vibes xx
