14 yr old with breast lump

[Shiboriamplehips]

Oh god im scared..shes had a lump in her nipple for a while,gp examined her and it goes back a long way and will need surgery.What if its malignant?

im chucking them down my neck......and codeine based pills.I know the dizziness etc is stress,ive been here before,stresswise anyway.They have put her in a private room,and drafted in all the available suppport for both of us,even her DADS coming down,lol.Im so scared,so fucking scared

just seen this shib, so sorry you're having this. I can barely imagine what you're going thru.

Can you not try to talk to someone at the breast care organisations? I know that nothing and no-one can take away your panic, until you hear those words - it's benign... but you need to look after yourself.

When is surgery? tomorrow?

Will be thinking of you...hugs hugs hugs.

(((hugs))) to you, i can't imagine what you are going through.
Good luck tomorrow

Good luck for tomorrow

Oh God poor you and your DD. Sending lots of positive vibes for tomorrow.

oh shiboria, how awful this is. good luck for tomorrow, will be thinking of you.

Shib.., get yourself Bach Rescue Remedy drops, you really need to keep a clear head to take everything in, is your dd holding up OK? Also, homeopathic ignatia is good for stress caused by emotional upset and it lets you keep a clear head. That's what I would be doing, maybe this helps you..

Whatever it turns out to be, you need all the knowledge you can get.

You poor, poor love. Thinking of you. Really hopeful it's benign, it must be way more likely than the alternative, I hope with all my heart it is.

only just seen this thread, will be praying for you tomorrow

thinking of you both today,hope it all goes well

Thinking of you both today. Hope it goes well and you get the all clear quickly.

The surgeons THINK its benign from how it looks,surgery went quickly and smoothly,they were fantastic,and i didnt cry til she was asleep pre-op.
The tumour is encapsulated,ie not penetrating the breast tissue itself,so consequently doesnt look malignant.Shes upstairs with my laptop on MSN now...They THINK its a "complex"fibroadenema,which is why it looked ominous on the scan.We still have to wait for the results of the biopsy however.Thanks everybody,im numb still now,and exhausted.xx

I have been wondering how things were going for you all. I hope it is all okay.

Oh that sounds really good Shib - the best possible outcome. ime the surgeons often have a good idea of whether things they remove are benign or not and I would take the fact that they are telling you they think it is benign as extremely hopeful. So glad it's done.

that sounds great tbh I had an encapsul;ated tumour removed in 2000 and have had no futrher problems

That sounds great news, Shiboriamplehips, and best wishes for the final results.

well that certainly sounds a lot more improved outlook,i hope with what they have told you maybe you will finally be able to have a good nights sleep.Im glad today is over for your dd sake and hope she will sleep well too.

When will you get the pathology results?

Wishing you and DD all the best x.

sounds like good news, fingers x'd for the final results for you all.

thanks for update shibo, am sure that you have mind on other things. As someone else says the surgeon wouldn't say what they've said if they don't really believe it. Take care and lots of love.

Thanks,biopsy in 9 days,waiting for letter from clinic now,will keep you posted,xx

good news, shib, let's hope for more and this will all be over.

Shib, I've been watching this thread and so relieved that the news is sounding better for you and your daughter. Let's hope the biopsy proves the docs right....in the meantime hope you can both get some sleep and enjoy this sunshine.

Im loving the sun,yes,but unsettled,need to know for sure,its still a bit of a roller coaster,xx
