Hi all. I am in the waiting limbo after having a biopsy last Thursday. I initially went to the doctors after finding a peas sized lump and during her examination she found another larger lump. Had the 2 week referral and on the day had the mammogram and ultrasound. The small lump was a cyst that sat in front of a very large cyst (5cm) which they have aspirated. They then found another lump which they didn't like the look of and said looked cancerous. This threw me as I didn't think they'd say this before a biopsy and results. They then did a biopsy and I am now awaiting results. There is something in the other breast as well but he said I would need an MRI as I had complex breasts?!
Everything escalated very quickly in that one appointment and I really don't know how to feel, what to ask or what happens next. They may have told me but it was all a bit overwhelming. Any advice on what happens next and what to ask would be really helpful. Xx
