Breast Lump Biopsy - Waiting for Results

16 replies

LetMeIn321 · 20/03/2021 21:37

Hello
3 weeks ago I found a lump in my breast. I only noticed it as there was some redness, and when I felt it there was a lump.
I saw my GP who said she was a bit worried about it and referred me to the breast clinic. I went a few days ago. The initial consultant felt it and said he was very sure it was a cyst & to have an ultrasound and have it asperated.
When I had the ultrasound, the lady said it's not a cyst, and took a biopsy and then I had a mammogram. I then had to see the consultant again straight after. He hold me they're not sure what it is. He explained they grade mammogram results from 1-5. (5 being cancer, 1 being nothing), and they were grading it at 3 because they're not sure. I get the results next week.

I've read a few articles saying people have developed 'harmless lumps' in their breasts and armpits after their vaccine (due to lymph node drainage), and I noticed the lump 2 days after my vaccine, so I'm aware it could be that.
I know that no one can really offer advice as such as it's a 'wait and see' situation. But I was wondering if anyone has had a similar situation and what was the outcome? Thanks in advance.

I'm guessing as you've had the vaccine you're over 50?

LetMeIn321 · 20/03/2021 22:32

@DareIask No, im 34 but had vaccine due to my job.

I'm sure it could be anything, and nothing. I won't belittle your worry, but I'm sure chances are you'll have good news

Sorry you're having to worry though x

@DareIask At the moment I'm not really sure how I'm feeling. Sometimes I'm worried and other times I feel ok-ish. It could be nothing. I suppose it's just the uncertainty at the moment.

@LetMeIn321 how are you doing?

LetMeIn321 · 23/03/2021 20:01

@DareIask I'm feeling quite positive at the moment. Thank you for asking. I received an electronic letter today to say I will be having a telephone consultation tomorrow. I phoned them to ask if it will be to give me the biopsy results and the lady said yes. So I said 'I'm assuming if I'm being given the results over the phone that it should be good news?" And she replied "yes, I imagine so as we would never give bad news over the phone". So I'm feeling quite relieved at the moment..!

Good luck

@DareIask @Bin85 Hello!

The hospital have called and said it’s benign. They don’t really know what it is (potential inflammation) but said it’s nothing cancerous and to see if it goes down over the next few weeks. I’m so glad about that!
Thank you so much for your messages xx
