Breast lump biopsied

[Scaredykittycat]

I’m scared.

I found a lump last week. Saw a surgeon quickly who said it felt like a cyst. Had an ultrasound and the fluid wasn’t clear so they wanted to aspirate it and check the cyst collapsed. The fluid wouldn’t aspirate so they did a biopsy. They think it’s an oil cyst so he reassured me by saying the fluid could have just been too thick to come through the needle. Results of the biopsy won’t be in until the end of next week.

My letter has not reassured me at all and says the lump was indeterminate on ultrasound and I am bricking it. Insomnia, lack of appetite, like a lot of women in this situation I have 2 young children and i’m absolutely petrified. I don’t know how to get through the wait. I haven’t stopped crying since I found the letter.

I don’t really know what the point of this post is really. I suppose I am looking for reassurance and advice on how to stay calm. I hate feeling like this.

Try to stay calm OP. I've had several lumps over the years and they've been benign fibroadenomas. It is frightening but at least you found the lump and even if it is more serious that doesn't mean it can't be treated. Try and keep busy until you get the results, kids activities, housework, watch films, read. Stay off Google as well, it's not your friend.
