hi there ,my names joanne , i am 41 years of age, married with three children. For the past few months i wasnt sure if i had a lump in the left breast or not. Somedays i would feel it, other times i didnt think i could. as strange as it sounds, of a night time i could feel it while during the day i wasnt sure. On monday 6th feb 2012 i finally found the courage to go see my gp. But she couldnt confirm if i had a lump or didnt but i sent for a mammagram ,ultrasound and biopsy(theses things are what the doctor had put on my referal letter). i earliest i could get in was on Thursday 16th feb, just the waiting and the not knowing have been the hardest. I think i would have felt better if i had of been told from my doctor either yes i think you have a lump or no i dont think so. But neither was said. Anyway i had my mammogram on the thursday, then had the ultrasound not long after. im hopeing it is all good news as no mention of a biopsy was said let alone done. i was told to go see my doctor for my results. nothing was said as if a lump was or not found but on watching the ultrasound the words 4cm lump long and lump trans. i do not know what this means.i have booked myself to see my doctor tomorrow. i was just curious to know if a lump was found why was a biopsy not mentioned? im a strong person and have been trying very hard to stay positive as i have read that 80%of breast lumps are usually not cancerous. i do not have a history of breast cancer. i guess tomorrow i will have the answer i have been waiting for. i can fully understand how hard it is not to worry. i just wondered if anyone has had a mammogram and ultrasound ,and not given a biopsy straight away? because im thinking if it was bad news then theyd do a biopsy straight away right? reading the 4cm lump long has me in mixed emotions. cheers jo ...
