So wondering if anyone has had experience of what’s going on with me at the moment ! Back story …mother diagnosed with breast cancer at age 29 back in the 1970’s …died at 31 …..spoke with couple of consultants in the past they dont think there’s a genetic link …2014 I have a borderline B3 phyllodes tumour removed . 5 years of mammograms follow then a normal call up in 2022 . In sept 2023 I find a lump that is possibly in an area where the surgeon “ tunnelled “ to get at sone tissue to remove in a different area to the phyllodes . I’ve had a biopsy that was B1 …great ….but the images they have don’t match up . I have a second biopsy and again it’s B1 but the images from scan etc don’t match up …these have been core needle . So now I need another biopsy !!! Worried after nearly 3 months of this things are being delayed ….anyone had similar ? Worried I’m getting false negatives !?? Should it really be taking this long ??? Breast care staff hav asked if a marker was put in on the 2014 surgery ,….I’ve no idea but surely this would have shown up in the 6 mammograms I’ve had since ????? Quite frankly Losing my mind !
Hi Kitkat2
Welcome to the forum and I am sorry to hear that you are facing a possible diagnosis of breast cancer. I'm not surprised that you are losing your mind as they can't seem to get a definite diagnosis for you. Hopefully the next biopsy will clear thing up for you. Like you I would have thought that if they put a marker in when you had your previous surgery it would show up on your follow up mammograms.
Wishing you the best of luck with your next biopsy.
Best wishes
