Hi Pahill. The waiting is REALLY hard. It’s difficult to stay optimistic and not assume the worst. We’ll hold thumbs for you that it’s all benign and that nothing more needs to be done. If it turns out to be a breast cancer of some sort, remember that the vast majority of breast cancers are very treatable with an excellent prognosis. Living in Australia you have access to world class care. In terms of what happens next, if the biopsy result is not benign, you will be referred to a breast surgeon and he/ she will take it from there. Most people end up having some sort of surgery within a month of this. Treatment from then on is extremely variable, depending on the type of tumour etc. Try not to think too far ahead. It will do your head in. Just stay in the moment and try to only think of the next step. Many biopsy results come back as normal so try not to panic. Easier said than done!
