Sinister Breast Lumps
Hi All,
Following a mammogram, US , MRI and 3 biopsies last week, I am currently waiting now on results. The consultant said that 2 lumps were sinister and one hopefully benign. Has anyone been told the same and the lumps turned out benign?

Apologies lots of typos.

Hi there
From time to time I login into this to see if I can help with advice.
When I logged in a query came up. It said swollen lymphnode, waiting for a biopsy, calcification etc. I thought to myself, wow that sounds exactly like my experience. When I looked to see who posted it, it turned out I posted it!!! 4 years ago. So no wonder it it read exactly like my story, because no two cancer stories are the same. All we can offer is guidance and ear to listen, unfortunately we can offer you the reassurance you want to hear, that its not BC. But I can tell you this. I remember myself 4 years ago. Full of fear and anxiety. I remember the waiting as I looked after my small children and cried as I cooked their meals. Once I got the confirmation that it was BC, it seemed a little easier. It certainly wasn't a walk in the park, but not as bad as I imagined.
Fast forward, 4 years. Chemotherapy, immunotherapy, masectomy and radiation & I'm stronger than I've ever been. Am I the same person? Not really because the fear never really leaves , but I proved to myself I'm stronger than I think snd with the right support , I can do anything and you can too.
Take one day at a time. DO NOT ask Dr Google for advice, I wish I hadn't. But do talk to someone, be it a counselling service in your local cancer centre or the nurse attached to this service. They are here to help . Now i gotta go and make dinner for the kids, but I do it without the tears. Anybody about to embark the journey that nobody wants to go on, you are all on my mind. But please, don't do it alone x x
