Breast clinic, biopsy, possible cancer

[BG2015]

Found a lump just over 2 weeks ago. My GP was brilliant and referred me to our local hospital and the breast clinic there.

Went this afternoon. Mammogram and scan then biopsy as they didn't like the look of it.

Breast nurse said they think because of how it looks it could be cancerous. Results back in 2 weeks.

Nothing in my arm pit so lymph nodes are clear. No history of breast cancer in my family or any female cancers (my dad had prostate cancer but is well and still riding his bike at 79)

I'm 52, hysterectomy 4 years ago and have been on HRT - that's obviously off the cards now.

I cried all the way home. I'm so scared. I know recovery/treatments are good for breast cancer. I've not googled or read anything online as I know it will make it worse.

Spent the evening watching Notting Hill with my lovely DP and trying to be positive

I'm sorry you're going through this. It's such good news that your lymph nodes are clear
I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 39. I'm now 54 and going strong. Take care and I wish you all the best

Thanks

There's still a chance it won't be cancerous I suppose but I think they know don't they by what they see.

So glad you are cancer free now.

It is 3 years this weekend since my biopsy, the wait for results was the worst!! My results were good thou, fingers crossed for yours x

for you.
It is a difficult time, but honestly, the statistics are true. Year by year the prognosis for cancer diagnoses (IF that is what it is - it might not be) are getting better.
