Hello ladies, Like so many of you I am completely strung out with worry!! I found an egg sized lump in my breast 17 days ago. Firm, rubbery very mobile. GP Referred me to breast clinic ASAP, had ultrasound and 4xcore biopsies 1 week ago. The large lump is a cyst which was aspirated (they took off 30mls of dark brown fluid). Inside the cyst was a smaller sold mass which they have biopsied. I was given no inclination as to what this might be. Just told results will take 2-3 weeks!!!!! Why, oh why is it such a long wait? I'm a nurse at the hospital where my tests are bring carried out, so today, I went knocking on the door of one if the breast care nurses. She couldn't tell me Anything except I was discussed at the MDT meeting today and the team are waiting the histology on the samples. She said the results will be back by next tues, at which point i will be contacted via a letter. I have begged her to speak with my consultant and stress how absolutely crazy the wait is making me. She took my number and promised to phone me Xmas eve once results are back but stressed she can't formally give me the results? I am currently getting divorced, moving house, working F/T, looking after my son and have finally hit breaking point. Can't eat, sleep or concentrate. Today the worry and waiting has consumed me and I haven't stopped sobbing since I've got home from work. Please can anyone offer me some advice?!? Thanks girls x
