    Hi, I'm 19 and I realize that breast cancer is someone my age is pretty uncommon, but I can't help my nervousness. >.<

    Well 2 weeks ago I went to the doctor because I had a lump in both my breasts. I knew I had them for a while, but I never got them checked out, but since the one in my right breast had grown, I figured I better get it checked out.

    I was told it was probably a cyst, but I was referred to a breast specialist and I had an appointment for an ultrasound the next day.

    I got the ultrasound, but the dr said I had so many lumps that they were overlapping (10-12 per breast I believe?) and they couldn't figure out what it was, so I had to get a 3D mammogram the same day.

    They could see that the lumps were solid and the dr said that he believed it was juvenile fibroadenoma, but I would need to get a biopsy for a definite diagnosis.

    I got an ultrasound guided core needle biopsy this past Tuesday and was supposed to get the results yesterday and they called and said the results would not be available until today. Well today theycalled and said the results wouldn't be ready until tomorrow and the dr wanted me to come in to discuss the results.

    Well they were originally just going to tell me the results by phone so it worries me that they want me to come in now. I'm so anxious! ):

    Hopefully it's nothing...

    Hi there. Don't panick just because they want you to come in. It sounds like you have complicated breasts no matter what so they probably just want to explain things in person. Remember most breasts lumps are benign. Hang in there and try to stay positive....

    Well the doctor told me that I don't have breast cancer, but they think I might have lymphoma. I had to get blood work done and I'm scheduled to get a pet scan in a week and a half, and I also have an appt to schedule a surgical breast biopsy on Tuesday. ):


    I'm still praying that it's nothing, but now I'm nervous about this surgical biopsy. Can anyone tell me their experience?
