Hi everyone
Hoping someone might be able to offer some words of comfort/advice as I am worried sick! I'm 33 weeks pregnant and about 3 weeks ago noticed a small lumpy area/thickening on the side of my left breast. I immediately booked a GP appointment and she could feel it to so referred me to the breast clinic where I have been today. Consultant could feel a thickening so sent me off for an ultrasound and mammogram. There is a definite thickening of the breast tissue but also they think a slight thickening to a lymph node in my left armpit. Had core biopsy taken of the thickened breast tissue and node and have to go back for the results on Friday. Basically they don't know either way what it is; it could be normal pregnancy changes or cancerous. I cannot stop crying. I also have a little girl of nearly 4 and can't stop thinking about her having to grow up without me 😢. Feeling very upset and worried. Does anyone have any experience of anything similar, particularly in pregnancy?
Thanks so much x
