Breast Cancer Now Forum

So my biopsies are all done and dusted. I am left with a mark which wouldn't bother me if it didn't fully heal. It certainly wasn't a pleasant experience despite the nurse and man performing them being lovely and making me laugh throughout. There was no pain during, not even with the anaesthetic needle it was just a weird pressure. I felt a lot of pain afterwards, like a dull ache on my left side with stabbing pains. It didn't last too long though and I managed without any pain relief. If I ever find more lumps I will slightly dread getting more biopsies but at least I know what to expect now. I hope everyone has had a lovely Christmas and new year!!! Xx ... View more

Hi Kelly, My doctors think I is a Fibroadenoma. So that is very very good. I was just examined but he is pretty sure. Just to make absolutely sure he wants me to have an Ultrasound and a Core Biopsy. I'm booked in for both of them on Christmas eve. I will fully relax when I have those results which I've been told I should get the day before my 30th birthday. Thanks for asking!! ... View more

Thanks for the reply Ann. My husband will be there to drive me home. It's not what I wanted to be getting up to on Christmas eve and I don't think I will fully relax until I get my results but it all has to be done doesn't it? At least when I've had it all done I can do what you have done and help women with information when it's their first time going through the tests. Thanks again!! ... View more

Thanks for your replies Kess and Matty. Matty, I'm sorry about what has happened to you!! I hope you do great with your treatments and surgeries. And thanks for answering my question. I suppose all I can do now is get through my scans tomorrow and see what they find.... I would just like to know what it is and what it isn't. The wondering is driving me mad. Thanks again ladies Xx ... View more

Hi CC, Thanks so much for replying. Google should be banned 😉 ha ha. I feel like I just want to know because this 'limbo' part is quite hard. I have had family and friends promise I will be fine and I want to tell them that is a dangerous promise to make but I realise they are more likely aiming that promise at themselves because if I do have BC it will be hard for them to cope too. They keep saying it is more likely to not be cancer but I know that chance it is cancer is very real. Thanks for sharing your similar story with me. I do hope you are doing ok!! I will either find out in Tuesday it is nothing to worry about or I will have results to wait for. Even after that wait it could still be all clear of anything bad. I am certainly not one to bury my head in the sand and I have people telling me over and over that their friend found a lump and it was not cancer but no one is going to say "my friend found a lump and it was cancer" because they don't want to scare me so of course everyone is is going to try and stay positive. I feel like optimism and pessimism are pointless and realism can save lives, so I am going to stay realistic. For a very long time now, way before I found the lump, I have been feeling extremely drained and fatigued with a lot I dizziness and nausea. The fatigue is so bad it gets in the way of my normal life, the dizziness and feeling sick are also daily occurrences. Since finding the lump I've been wondering if they are all linked..... I'm 29 years old so I should still have some energy left 🙂 Now I have started this post I will be updating with my results and how Tuesday goes. Thanks again for the reply CC!! Xx ... View more
