I found a lump and was at breast clinic on Monday. The ultrasound showed a second smaller nodule aswell and both were graded 4/5 for malignancy on the ultrasound. Ive been given a Macmillan nurse and told they obviously can't tell me for sure until the results are in for the biopsies but to expect the worst. The Macmillan nurse also called me the next day to check how I was.
I'm going out of my mind with worry - has anyone had a similar experience? If there any chance they could be benign or am I trying to fool myself? My mum is at end of life care for metastatic breast cancer and I keep thinking back to when her biopsies were done and she wasn't given a Macmillan nurse until two weeks later when she got her results. She wasn't told to think the worst and she only had one lump.
Hi Freesia77 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that you're currently waiting for the results of biopsies and that you've been told to prepare for the worst.
As you know the online community is divided up into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join us over in the breast cancer group which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support from others who have been where you are now.
