Hi
I’m a newbie here and am just looking for someone to talk to. I had a mammogram recall last week, and had another mammogram, ultrasounds and two core biopsies. A 9mm “very suspicious” mass was found in my left breast and a tiny hard lump (most likely nothing to worry about) in my right. I’m getting my biopsy results this Thursday and I am terrified

I should also say that I have had a small clip inserted in case I need surgery, and my lymph nodes all look normal.

Hi, that is exactly what happened to me last November, I didn’t find a lump but they recalled me because of a suspicious mass in my right breast. It is a roller-coaster but you will get through it. I have had surgery, started tamoxifen and had my first Radiotherapy session today. The care you will receive is excellent and treatment is really quick. I won’t say try not to worry because I know you will be. Make sure you have a good support system around you too. Good luck for the coming months xxx

Hi LLB123
Thank you so much for replying. I just want to know the results now because the waiting is just horrible. Can I ask, did you have a lumpectomy or mastectomy? I live on my own but have great family support and a few close friends who all know what’s happening.

The Radiographer told me she thought it was cancer when she took the biopsy, I waited like you for it to be confirmed. I had a lumpectomy because of where my Tumour was (high up nearer my armpit). If it is confirmed they will give you another appointment to see your breast surgeon so write down any questions you have so you don’t forget them. They also removed a couple of Lymph Nodes during the lumpectomy and these came back as clear. I was told not to look online because you really do read some horror stories too! My Tumour was 9mm. My scar is healing lovely, my breast looks a bit different but nothing too drastic. You will feel a bit better once you know what you are dealing with xxx

Yes the radiographer said to me that she thought it would turn out to be cancerous too. My lunp is in the same sort of area so hopefully a lumpectomy will be all I’ll need. I have no idea what questions I need to ask to be honest – any suggestions for me? Thank you so much for talking to me. I hope you’re feeling ok and that the your radiotherapy treatment will be ok xx

They pretty much covered all of my questions when I saw the surgeon (they will know by the biposy what sort it is). Mine was stimulated by Oestrogen and the nurse told me that when she rang to confirm it was cancer. So I asked if I had hormone treatment would I go onto the menopause, should my sisters be concerned about their breasts and practical things like how long would I need off work, when could I drive etc. Then how my breast would look after the surgery. Just note everything down, no matter how daft you think it sounds. Hope this helps and you will get through this and please lean on your friends and family because they will want to help you. Please let me know how your results go xxx

Hi, sorry to hear you have found yourself in this position, I was diagnosed with breast cancer last April, I had a mammogram then biopsies and a clip put in, when the cancer was diagnosed I had a lumpectomy, my lymph nodes were clear, I then had 15 rounds of radiotherapy. If it is cancer you will get through it, we seem to find an inner strength, this forum is amazing too so don’t be a stranger and ask us whatever you need to, I’m always here to help xx

Hi Cags
It’s lovely to hear from you, and I’m sorry that we’re both in the same horrible situation. Not knowing what to expect is just the worst isn’t it. It’s fear of the unknown. If you need to chat more please just drop me a line xxx
