Breast Cancer Now Forum

Hi TruLeah   Yes all are given a BIRads, 4 is suspicious and needs a biopsy to make sure. I had something similar to you a few months back, my biopsy came back benign( they almost always do). The waiting is the hardest part your head goes all over the place. Fingers crossed you get good results  ... View more

Hi thanks for thinking of me, I live in NY so 5 hours behind ye, my appointment is at 2 today so am hoping all goes well. Well come back and let you know xx ... View more

I can totally get it, it’s human nature for us to worry, am also guilty of having moments of panic, but logically and statistically I know all is on my side. I have a strong family history of bc so I think that’s what made me worry, but I have apt tomorrow afternoon and I think I know deep down it will be ok. I will let you know how it goes. Yes there is IBC, but just remind yourself that this is a very rare type even in older women, and more so in someone as young as you.  Yes the days are easy fill I have 2 daughters 6 and almost 4, the last few nights I have started putting my phone down and watch a good show and then read before bed which has helped with the over thinking.  Take care hope you have a nice day xoxo ...

Hi Laur I don’t have a similar story but I just wanted to stop by and say hi. It’s so scary being referred, but good to get things checked out even for your peace of mind.  You are so young, so that is def on your side as very rare in young women. I’m currently going for ultrasound and specialist on Monday for a lump, I’m 39 though, but keep telling myself it’s way more likely to be nothing serious.  As hard as it is, and I know I have been the google queen, try not to google your symptoms as it only ever gives dated information and the worst case. Hopefully you get seen and it’s something benign and easily sorted for you.  Hopefully someone will come along soon who has a similar situation to you. In the meantime try to keep as busy as you can. Wishing you all the best and hoping for a good outcome for you x  ... View more

Hi Ruthy I don’t have a similar situation but just wanted to say hi, and welcome to this forum. I have found it so helpful and people are so supportive. I found a lump 6 months ago on right breast. Was sent for testing and had a core biopsy on a different lump that I couldn’t feel, it turned out to be benign thankfully. Fast forward about 2 weeks ago I found a new small hard lump, I have a follow up appointment from my last one so I’m going to have it checked then on the 8th. Fingers crossed this is benign also, feels different and am a bit concerned about it but trying to park it now for 2 more weeks. While our cases are not similar I do totally understand how you are feeling, it’s the worst. Fingers crossed your apt goes well on Thursday and you can put this all behind you. In the meantime come on here even if it’s just to vent as I find it really does help ❤️ ... View more

Hey Jansis  Oh no I’m so sorry to hear that, not what you wanted to hear. Fingers crossed so because it is small that will be early stage and easily treated. You should have a look on here for recently diagnosed and people who are going through similar to you.  Wishing you the best of luck xoxo ... View more

Hi Jansis  Hope you are doing ok, what day have you your appointment x  ... View more

Oh yes I know some days my mind starts to wander also so am just trying to keep myself busy( 2 small kids and a puppy is helping 😂 ) Best of luck Thursday hope all goes well for you and anything sinister is ruled out quickly for you x  ... View more

Hi Ruthy Sorry that life and your lump has brought you to this forum. People on here are amazing though and so supportive.  I know exactly how you are feeling. I had a biopsy 6 months ago( benign thankfully), I have a follow up apt on March 8th, and a week ago I found another lump which sounds just like yours, mine is located in the right breast and on the lower outer quadrant. Just try to keep in mind that the vast majority of lumps turn out to be benign. I’m 39 with a strong family history of breast and other cancers but am holding on to that fact.  Hope all turns out benign for you, please do come back and let us know how your apt goes. Xx ...

I can only imagine it must have came as a complete shock.  The waiting around and wondering/worrying is the hardest part. I hope it turns out to be benign for you when you already have stuff going on. This forum is so great for a bit of feedback and support xx ... View more
