Hi everyone
I have just been diagnosed with above, I have been to hospital from April 2025 complaining about lump to be told it was glandular tissue change due to hormones (menopause) I have just turned 49. Beginning of July 2025 the lump had got bigger from 4mm to 3.2cm. I was still complaining about "stingy" pain at my sternum. At breast clinic consultant said he go cut it out under local anastetic so I said yes, it was an abscess told him pain was still there. So basically within 5 weeks had local anastetic 3 times and breast cut open, general anastetic x 2, the 1st GA he explored and found a lump "hid" in my muscle at chest wall, 3 strong antibiotics and then told above diagnosis. Told they couldn't answer questions about prognosis as such a rare finding and more removal of tissue to be examined. I am still waiting on results and I am finding it really hard and so scared as they can't really explain it all.
Sorry for long story but if anyone has this or can give me some reassurance I would greatly appreciate it
Thanks
I didn’t have the same as you, I found lump and was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. I refused chemo, but had lumpectomy and radiotherapy which finished last week. Hopefully it has worked and I know it’s not easy but I decided , after a couple of weeks that there was no point worrying as all the worrying in the world wouldn’t change the outcome and the worrying/stress was making me ill.
it doesn’t answer your question but big hugs
