Not diagnosed but awaiting

3 months ago lesion on right breast was picked up incidently on Lung CT scan for my then illness i had. I had ultrasound with radiologist which radiologist said was probably cyst bur did FNA after i asked for it due to my mother having very early stages breast cancer in her 30s and her aunts died of them 1 in mid 30s and one over 60. My cousin on my fathers side died in early 40s mid december last year as it spread to her brain from breast. The FNA result 3 months ago came back inconclusive with bloody cells so was referred to breast surgeon who recommended follow up ultrasound/mammogram in 3 months time. That time came 2 days ago on 17th May in morning. Ultrasound picked up 5 new tumors in right breast along side with existing 6th tumor that was tested inconclusive. My left had 2 new ones one near armpit and one on side not so far from it towards bottom of breast. Radiologist checks with doc and they said mammogram to be done so had it done straight up. Next morning i already had docs appt for something else but she already had report from mammogram and one was already sent to breast surgeon. Mammo report confirmed all 9 are solid tumors and suspects it to be fibroadenomas and i have to wait for what doctor surgeons recommendations which is Tuesday afternoon. (Im 34 mum of 4 and looking for anyone that had similar issue and all was fine? If i am on wrong page for this sort of thing please accept my appologies and let me know which direction or page i should go on?

    This is a very good place to stress vent. We all get it. I don't think our families know how much this forum spares them!

    Sister, must be nice to have friends come over today to see you today. I can  sort of understand why you would have no memory of that day and be elsewhere. Hope you have a lovely day. 

    The 3 months didnt bother me to much because I thought inconclusive biopsy wasnt a concern at all thinking well least it didnt come back cancer but it didnt come back begnin but i just got busy thinking 3 months a long wait and i have 4 sons youngest is turning 3 next month and figured that the tumor be gone by then. Hubby knows and he is a little worried but i assured him all can be begnin and nothing to worry about. He had aneurysm in his main aorta heart and inoperable so cant afford to stress him out hence why im on here.

    @Twiggy34B I have friends coming over today.  The last time I saw them all was for a Christmas do the weekend between my recall appointment and diagnosis appointment.  I have almost no memory of that day and afterwards, when they found out about what was going on, all of them knew that I had been "somewhere else".  So, completely understandable - I just don't know how you've managed 3 months.

    It is definitely not stupid or silly to feel nervous about your health. And completely understandable given the uncertain nature of what's going on so far. Hang in there as best you can, try to stay in the moment as much as possible and don't cross any bridges until you come to them. Big hugs, K xox

    Thank you Sister, 
    Yes it is unfortunate to wait for outcome but cant help but feel nervous which is very stupid and silly. I just need to wait for answer. I was already a little nervous 3 months back when biospy result was inconclusive with "bloody cells" so i thought i did well not to bother being nervous for 3 months until now. Silly I know and should try be positive until i know more. 

    Thanks

    You're not on the wrong page. Unfortunately, at the moment it's just waiting to see what the surgeon says which is a terrible time.  Try not to think about it too much although the that's easier said than done. You may get someone else responding who has had a similar experience but in the meantime, welcome.
