So scared
Hello All, I recently found a lump on my left breast and had it looked at by my GP. She said it didn't seem craggy but sent me anyhow for a mammogram and ultrasound.
I went in a tad worried but filled confidence at the same time that everything was fine.
However, while mammogram showed up nothing the ultrasound was cause for cause for concern and I had a biopsy done there any then.
They gave the lump a bi rad 4 rating. From what I've read this has more of a chance of being benign but I'm so so scared.
My tumor is 8mm and they said from what they could see it didn't go to the nodes....is this something they need to double check or are they sure from an ultrasound.
This waiting a week and a half for results is just awful. I'm crying all the time and just can't work. I have 3 small kids and I want to be strong for them but I'm finding things tough.
Blessing and good luck to all. Xx

Hello, thanks for responding, I received a diagnosis grade 2 hormone driven tumor. 8mm in size.
I was told a lumpectomy and radiation with possibility of chemo.
I was coming to terms with this result when I got a call to say surgery was now delayed as they found microcalcifications that now needed biopsy.
I'm so scared of bone cancer and blood cancer. My head is all over the place.
Hi Lamstrong,
I am so sorry to hear that you are going through this. This is where I was 9 years ago, between diagnosis and surgery. Not an easy place to be.
Microcalcifications do not necessarily indicate bone cancer or blood cancer. Here is a good explanation. Your team is just making sure that all possible points of concern are looked into before the surgery. It sounds as if they are being very thorough.

Thanks Kath. I want to be hopeful and full of positivity but I'm finding it tough.
