Hi Saski,
Thank you for posting. Many women often feel worried and distressed when they discover a breast lump, especially while waiting for biopsy and test results, it is a natural reaction. Thankfully most breast lumps are non-cancerous. A fibroid is a non - cancerous growth in the breast, it is a very common condition in women. The samples taken from your breast will be examined further in the lab, by doing this the doctors will be able to confirm the diagnosis. It usually takes 2 – 3 weeks for biopsy results to come back, this is often very stressful waiting, it may help to speak with family and friends about how you are feeling. Our cancer Nurseline is also available on 1800 200 700, you can have a chat with us about what is going on, we would like to support you in any way we can.
