Breast lump scan and biopsy

4 replies

Ria83 · 21/01/2023 12:52

Hi everyone, I'm so worried, I had a biopsy on Tuesday 17th, was hoping to just have a scan at the breast clinic and be told was just my normally lumpy breasts (was told years ago I had fibrocystic breasts) but she said I had a thickening in my right breast and I would need a biopsy, I had 3 core biopsies, and they gave me an appointment for 3 weeks later for a phone call for the results, I've just had a letter through today and it says "the right upper outer quadrant a 1.8 cm oval shaped lesion U2" what does a lesion mean and what does U2 mean? Can anyone help me, I am trying to keep things to myself and trying to act normal infront of my kids, family and work, but I feel like crumbling inside and I just want to sleep all the time

Isn't U2 normally benign?

breastcancernow.org/information-support/facing-breast-cancer/mammogram-breast-ultrasound#:~:text=U2%3A%20benign%20(not%20cancer),U5%3A%20cancer Down towards the bottom of the page shows U2 benign (not cancer).
