Was it only a cyst??????

@Mimand hope your biopsy gives you a good result.

Seems it’s not uncommon to get a bum steer.  I went to the doctor in May 2021, and by September had had two ultrasounds, a mammogram and a biopsy. All were inconclusive and I was told the lump was probably the result of an old injury and would dissipate. When it was still there in December I decided to go back to (a different) doctor, who referred me to a breast surgeon “just in case”.  After a lumpectomy I was diagnosed with an undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, but after a mastectomy I hit the jackpot: triple negative Metaplastic carcinoma.  The most aggressive form, and eight months wasted.

My advice to anyone would be just keep pushing!

Yep.

My lump that wasn't a lump because it wasn't there when someone else was looking it for turned out to be a lobular tumour the size of my thumb.

This was only discovered after 4 years when I'd lost ten kilos without trying in 12 months and insisted on surgical exploration. I was made to feel like a hysterical nuisance but if I hadn't have chucked a right wobbler about it I'd be dead now.

I think the little bell that rings in our heads when we think something is wrong should not be ignored.

Fingers crossed for good news. At least you have had it followed up. You can deal with this knowing what it is soon.  

Update : I have a new 9mm solid mass , biopsy on Tuesday 16th Aug . 🙏🏼

@Mimand
I was a cyst that was core biopsied (u/s and mammogrammed) as a cyst, that then grew over a few months and was retested as a cyst (u/s and mammogrammed again) and fine needle aspiration that turned out to be …yeah, not a cyst at all…

@Mimand - listen to your body and your gut feeling - and change medicos if needs be.
Most of us on here have discovered that we have to be our own advocates.
If it is discovered that it is "just a cyst" then you and the GP can rest easy - but most certainly demand a test.
Let us know how you get on.  💖

I’m with Abbydog -your body and you have to,live with the consequences .I had a cancer in situ in a polyp  from colon in my 40s , the GP dismissed it as bleeding haemorrhoids . Would have been in trouble if I’d left it longer .

Not me. But I have heard this from several other people. I would demand a scan, politely.
You are the only person who has to live with the consequences, if the GP is wrong.

Yes. My GP told me that my lump felt like a cyst and not to lose sleep over it. She gave me a referral for an ultrasound though because she knew I’m a hypochondriac and would’ve insisted on one. It turned out I had one more lump next to it, and another in my other breast, all three cancerous. Lucky I was stage 1.
