Waiting and worrying

chgarcia90

Hello everyone. I have a strong family history of breast cancer: sister diagnosed at 32, paternal and maternal grandmothers and maternal aunt. I had a mammogram and ultrasound which showed  a 5 mm hypoechoic lesion as suspicious birads 4. Today I went for a ultra sound guided biopsy. The dr. did a needle aspiration and removed some mucous type material and said I would get results in a couple days. He seemed surpised that he removed mucous. So now I am worried. I am a nurse and of course I keep researching stuff and keep getting more info that doesn't make me feel better. Just wondering if anyone can give me info on this stuff or guide me to the right areas that I should look into.

Thank you.

Right now there is nothing you can do.  I know it's hard but until you have information you can continue reading things on here that can just scare the crap out of you and they may never even apply to you.  The waiting is the worst part of all of this.  I am sorry you are going through this and hope your tests come back with good news.  Hugs!

I agree with Maria.  I know that waiting is really hard, but that's about all you can do until you get more 'official' information. 

I had myself completely confused and terrified from what I had read online.  I had some information from initial reports, but I probably would have been better off if I had just ignored the constant beckoning from my computer and had gone into my final test (excisional biopsy) totally ignorant of the possibilities.  That being said, we're all human and it's in our nature to be curious.  I was extra inquisitive, since my profession involves a lot of daily research.  I couldn't resist!   However, when you get more information, I would advise you to stick to reliable online sites, such as this one. 

Even though my test results were benign (one more 'Thank You' to whatever power watches over me), I still have a little worry pop into my head every time I get an ache or a pain.  I guess you could say that this experience has made me more conscious of what my body might be telling me.

So, try to relax and find something to keep you mind off of things that you can't control right now.  And, please keep us posted.

P.S.  My mother and maternal aunt were both BC survivors (and another sister died of pancreatic cancer).  I know what it's like to have extra worry because of a family history.  My mother died about a year and a half ago (from heart-related issues, not BC) and I sometimes think that she's the 'power' that watches over me!

Hi I too had a core needle biopsy to test microcalcification that came back with flat epithelial atypical cells as well as mucous which seemed to be concerning to the Drs, so now  I've seen a surgeon who is going to do an open incisional biopsy. The surgeon says there is only a 5% chance it's malignant , but every time I try to look up mucous in Breast tissue results it comes back with a rare cancer called mucousus. .?? How did your biopsy results go?
