Went to the breast clinic yesterday

I have a large (visible) lump in my right breast. GP did not think it was sinister because it's mobile, but was referred to the breast clinic.

I saw the registrar who sent me for a mammogram and then an ultrasound. She also commented that it was mobile, although I was slightly worried that she noted it was irregular as I was expecting her to tell me it was a fibroadenoma and they're smooth, right?

The radiologist doing the ultrasound said he had looked at my mammogram results and was not concerned by the lump. He then scanned my lymph nodes and the hilum is completely absent from one of them so they did a FNA. Went back to the registrar who told me the same, that radiologist had said he did not think the lump was worrying but that he'd also said they may want to do a FNA. It was pretty late by then and she wanted to discuss with the consultant who had just left so the plan is for them to review and decide whether to do a FNA next week when I go back for the results of the lymph node FNA.

I haven't been unwell or anything recently who could explain the way the lymph node is and am pretty stressed about it! Has anyone had the same finding? Any advice/words of wisdom?

Morning elusive . I don't have an answer for you I'm afraid . But if you pop over to our tamoxifen 17 thread , one of our ladies should be able to help you .
The least we can do is hold your hand whilst you wait .

know how you feelCamel I've got lump in my right breast too. Had ultrasound, mammogram and biopsy yesterday. Sad

Gave lump a rating of 3 out of 5. . .

Got t go back next Thursday for results.

Can we hold hands?

Yes, we can hold hands. It's not nice waiting for results. Have you got lots to keep you busy for the next week? I am in the middle of moving, have my little boy's 4th birthday on Saturday and back to a hectic week at work on Tuesday so hopefully I won't have much time to think about!

Do both pop over to the tamoxfin thread, the ladies there were a great support to me when i was going through the one week wait earlier this month.

NedSchneebly · 29/12/2011 21:23

Hey camel. Going to in laws tomorrow, they don't know, so don't have to discuss endlessly. Back home on Sunday pm. Back to work on Wednesday, then results Thursday afternoon. Sounds like you're super busy. When are you due to get your results?

NedSchneebly · 29/12/2011 21:28

Would feel a bit of a fraud, bothering so many amazing strong ladies fighting the brave fight on the tamoxifen thread, when i don't have a result yet. . .

MaryAnnSingleton · 29/12/2011 22:15
