Waiting for biopsy results and scared.

Hello

On New Years Day I discovered two small lumps in my breast. I called my primary care physician and she sent me to Mamography for. a Diagnostic Mamogram. I have large breasts that are lumpy sometimes so I didn’t think much of it. I went yesterday and they did a Mamogram, Ultra Sound and another Mamogram. They radiologist came in and said I have a 95% chance of having breast cancer and I also have at least one inflamed lymph node. She immediately performed a biopsy and it should be back to me on wednesday. Once I went home Instarted to feel a lot of pain in my right leg and chest. It continued to get worse so I went to the ER thinking something went wrong with the biopsy. After spending the night in the ER they didn’t find anything and I’m still experaincing the pain. The biopsy sight I less painful that my leg and chest. I’m scared.

I’m 31 years old with two small children ages 19 months and 4 years. I feel like with this level 5 result. I’m probably going to die and not see my children grow up. I’m devastated.

I’m sorry for such a sad post. I’m still in schock and didn’t know where to turn.

raisan_angels,

I am so sorry u have to go through this devastating period of worry right now, especially at your age.

I am assuming from what your radiologist told u (95% chance of cancer) that u have been given a Birads 5 score, but best to obtain the written report(s) for your mammograms and ultrasound to confirm. Please remember that even with a Birads 5 score, there is still a chance the biopsy could come back benign; there was a lady to whom that happened just the other day on this board.

I also wanted to share that a Birads 5 score has no implications with respect to your prognosis should it turn out not to be benign; that can only be determine by pathology. I had a Birads 5 score, and although it turned out I did indeed have cancer, mine has a very good prognosis.

Sending u a gentle virtual hug and wishing u the best.

raisan angels, It is normal for you to be in a state of shock. We have all been there whether it is a B9 finding or not. Just hearing that our health may be jeopardized by any kind of disease or chronic illness is very scary because we feel we have no control. The good news is you will be back in control and feel very differently once you find out the status of the findings and/or come up with a plan. The waiting is by far the hardest part and you are walking through the eye of the storm now. Hang in there and realize this will get better no matter the results.

I can't thank you enough for your replies. I've spent the last couple of months very sick off and on with nausea and dirreah so I'm fearing the worst. Especially, becuae of the inflamed lymph node. It makes me terrified and Im having a much more difficult time handling this than Ithought I would since it's very fast and very sudden.
