Hi all. I'm pretty new to this. Just asking for reassurance. I found a lump in my left breast a month ago. Went to the GP who referred me to the breast clinic. Had my appointment yesterday. After 2 mammograms and 2 ultrasounds they did a biopsy. Before a left the consultant told me it's Highly likely a have breast cancer. Has anyone been told this and the biopsy comes back negative.
They cant be sure until the labs have had a look at the biopsies but tbh I would assume I did have cancer at that point - and hope to be pleasantly surprised!
Hi
I'm sorry you find yourself in this position. I had breast cancer 10 years ago and my elderly Mum was diagnosed on Thursday. Both of us had to have a punch biopsy and it turned out that we both had breast cancer. Waiting on results is the worst.
I would hope for the best and expect the worst.
Take care and try to relax (easier said than done I know)
Hi Nicholat I was told the same thing and it did turn out to be cancer. I was quite glad as I was more prepared when I was told. Hopefully yours will turn out all okay. When are you getting your results? Take someone with you when you go as I forgot half of what was said but husband remembered a lot more.
