very confused
Im a 40 yr old mum of three kids. I also have severe depressive bipolar. Last year two lumps turned up that turned out to be sebaceous cyst. After 6 months of trying to get rid of them I was offered surgery. I had a mammo and ultrasound. The bottom cysts was vesticular and the radiologist sais it looked angry. Then the recalled me for spot mammo but nothing showed up. Then I had general breast clinic. Last week I had the sebaceous cyst removed from my left breast after surgery no dr came to see me and no one said the surgery went fine. I was just told I have a breast clinic appointment this wed and I went home. On friday I got my appointment but it is for the breast clinic in the olivia newton john cancer Center. Now I dont want to work myself up but I thought if I had first app in normal clinic why am I now going to other clinic. Scars are 5 cm long I was told they would be smaller than 1cm. And I have wat looks like a biopsy puncture site. My friend who is a cancer survivor said they may have just biopsied to check. Now whilst we wrre talking I mentioned another lump that is hard and doesn't move. She had a feel and said I should mention it at my appointment on wed. so my question is should I b worried.

- Hi Kimjade. Thanks for the update. I hope that, by now, you have heard from your doctor and have received your ultrasound results. Chances are, if it's something to worry about, the next step will be a biopsy. Either way, it's a process you have to work through and panicking about it doesn't help. Do you have someone to support you through all your appointments? It helps to have someone close to you, who you feel comfortable expressing your concerns to. I have learnt, through my own experience, that it's not helpful to presume that things will be bad. That only creates anxiety which leads to fear. Just wait until you know the facts and then you can decide what to do next. Feel free to post your worries on this site any time you need to - we all understand where you are right now. Good luck and keep us posted. Sending hugs, Xxx Jeanine
- Thought I'd update my appointment at the Oliver Newton John clinic was to tell me my MRI showed a 1x1.1 lump on left boobie and that something flagged in my liver that was 1.6cm. My doctor said to not google anything but of course I did. So pretty freaked out at the moment that was a week ago today. Yesterday I had ultrasounds on both areas and now I'm just waiting for a phone call. The lady performing the ultrasound didn't give anything away. All I know is what ever is in my breast is at 2 o'clock. Wish I knew how to read my liver when I asked her a question about it she said that's your kidney. I don't know why I bothered to try working it out at all but not knowing and just waiting is horrible!
