Waiting Waiting and more Waiting
I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma grade 3 in April 2015.....had lumpectomy, chemo and radiotherapy. All mammograms and ultrasound since have been clear. Ten days prior to Christmas I noticed changes to my nipple of the same breast. The end of it actually looked like a wedge had been cut out.....this then very quickly changed to becoming more inverted to level but totally different to the other side including the areola having stretched to almost double the size. I saw GP just prior to Christmas and was extremely concerned but didn't think it would be due to old scaring. Had further mammograme and ultrasound but told that would only be due to scar tissue but he did a FNA. G.P rang me with -ve results and I was happy BUTshe is very concerned still and spoke to Breast specialist - he too is still concerned of being a false -ve. So now Im going for a core biopsy tommorow afternoon and see GP again Monday....... It's really hard as I can't tell my adult daugters until it is confirmed as they have their own dissabilities, all-be-it minor and dont cope ......
Waiting biopsy results following highly suspicious lump and enlarged lymph nodes
Hi all, I’m new here but wanted to put down my thoughts to others who have / are going through the same Following ultrasound last week where my lump was confirmed as a 3cm lump with irregular borders with an enlarged lymph node and described as a “highly suspicious” lump, tuesday I had mammogram, lymph node fine needle biopsy and 3 x core needle biopsy in breast lump. Apart from feeling sore I am obviously worried/nervous/frightened. Doctor who performed mammogram and biopsy said the findings are very worrying...should I just accept the fact it is Cancerous? Is there a possibility with these findings it is a benign lump? Both doctors from ultrasound and today’s tests said the same statement so I fear the worst and feel it’s highly unlikely to be benign but I am trying to keep positive Every little ache now I am overly worrying about convinced it’s linked to the lump Is this normal feeling?
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?Not Diagnosed yet
