Hi
I was told I had a seratoma after my lumpectomy in Dec 25 & not worry about it. I had it checked twice & it did reduce in size over several months. However it didn't completely go & is like a little hard lump now. I thought I should get it checked by the oncologist who referred me for an ultrasound. Had ultrasound last week & radiologist said needed to do a biopsy although probably fat necrosis. I started to panic at this stage. I had phone call a couple of days ago which I was told everything seems ok but one test not come back. I was told they would ring me if there was any change to my treatment plan. I now have been given another telephone appointment next Tues & I am absolutely terrified more cancer has been found. I have already had my diagnosis changed from DCIS to IDC & an incidental finding of ILC in my other breast when I had the cosmetic surgery which affected me greatly. I feel so scared I will need more surgery. Has anyone experienced this happening to them?
I know waiting for results is agonising but I feel have had too many shocks & feel I am on shifting sands.
Thank you
Liser
