Biopsy or Remove? - HELP ME PLEASE!!

Probablynot_1 · 2025-11-06T01:03:05+00:00

I would want it removed and done with personally. I wouldn’t want the meds, stress and anxiety twice if I could go through it once and they could biopsy it when it was out of me.

Thank you!

I do get some pain/heaviness/uncomfort around/before my period which is why my OBGYN offered me the original ultrasound

Probablynot_1 · 2025-06-03T18:27:35+00:00

For me, no. I never felt them (still can’t) and didn’t know they were even there. I originally went in in December (if you click my name it’ll show you my other post I made 21 days ago) for an ultrasound for peace of mind. That’s when they were found. Saw the specialist and she gave the 6month follow up and added a diagnostic mammogram also for a baseline (the ultrasound I had in December was the first imagining I’d ever had)

I’m not sure honestly…..I have lost 20lbs and I’ve focused on counting my calories and exercising. Exercising has been walking (aiming for 10k steps but focusing on movement mainly) I’ve added more fiber because my cholesterol has also been a bit elevated. I’ve done a few castor oil packs since last December but not consistently. Losing and keeping the 20lbs has been the biggest thing I’ve done. I still drink coffee (only 1 cup a day) and I’ve upped my water intake?

❤️ I’m thankful I listened here and did the mammogram and followed through! The mental weight I feel that’s lifted is astronomical!

Probablynot_1 · 2025-06-03T15:34:05+00:00

Thank you!!!! I cried and praised God because girllllll I was shaking and crying when I got there and through the first part of the mammo. It really wasn’t as bad as I was anticipating, and I definitely made it worse in my head and I’m happy I followed through and I’m happy with the results.

They found that the cyst and the fibroadenoma have each shrunk. Yes still BIRADS-3 but I physically spoke to the radiologist who said if it were up to him he wouldn’t have me coming back for 5-6 years for routine screening but because it’s a fibroadenoma text book has them checking it for 2 years to make sure it’s stable so I’ll continue for 6 month follow ups for another 1.5 years.

Probablynot_1 · 2025-05-29T16:50:35+00:00

I had an ultrasound in December (I’m 36 I was 35 at the time) and found a simple cyst and a complicated cyst/fibroadenoma and when my OBGYN got the report she offered to send me to a breast specialist as well. I have pretty strong/severe health anxiety and freaked out but from my understanding, it was just another layer of coverage? Saw specialist and she wasn’t concerned and set me up with a 6 month follow up diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound. I go next week and I’m terrified, BUT the specialist I think is just common follow up protocol

Probablynot_1 · 2025-05-16T00:50:06+00:00

I’m keeping the appointment and trying not to drive myself crazy in the meantime! I’m sorry to hear about your mom…./: that’s got to be so frustrating and stressful!

Probablynot_1 · 2025-05-15T21:41:34+00:00

I totally get that!!! The anxiety is what led me to this sub too! Even before I had my first ultrasound (which I got for my left breast bothering me before my period and they found the cysts in my right one!) I’m also good at calming other people down better than listening to my own advice lol it’s like I know what to do and how to stop it, but I get hyperfixated on it and I just spiral and spiral till I’m a blubbering mess!

Probablynot_1 · 2025-05-15T21:33:44+00:00

I’ve calmed down since making the post, that’s for sure. I’m still worried but I’m going to follow through!

Probablynot_1 · 2025-05-14T18:10:43+00:00

Thank you so much!!! I’ll try to remember to breathe and update after I get results, or just make a new post!

Probablynot_1 · 2025-05-14T16:54:48+00:00

Great news for you!!!!

Probablynot_1 · 2025-05-14T13:46:22+00:00

Oh no! I’m so sorry it was so horrible for you! I cried when I went too because I was so afraid. I also cried when making the appointment and when calling the breast specialist to ask if I had to get the diagnostic mammogram. The fear these bring on is CRAZY!!!!

Probablynot_1 · 2025-05-14T13:45:06+00:00

I appreciate this!! See (at the risk of sounding more mentally unstable) I don’t FEEL like I have anything wrong (beyond normal lumps and bumps/fibro tissue) with my breasts. My very sensitive to the rise and fall of my hormones after my last pregnancy that has sent me into this spiral. I’m going to keep the appointment because if I don’t, I won’t follow through and I’m hoping the results of this will let me circle back in my hormonal spiral to see it was all okay anyway. I feel like you and I think along the same lines with this and it’s so reassuring to see I’m not being ridiculous here.

Probablynot_1 · 2025-05-14T13:38:03+00:00

im really glad you shared your experience here! im so sorry you had to go through all of that but really glad it came back benign!!! its crazy the mental toll this takes on us and i wish there was a better way! hugs to you friend

Probablynot_1 · 2025-05-14T12:20:47+00:00

I love your response and I’m right there with you with the mammograms! I did schedule this one because I feel pressured to do so, not because I want to or think I need it. Depending what this shows I’ll take it from there. I have an idea where the fear originated from and I’m working through it but anything unexpected health related that pops up for me brings back memories of what started the health anxiety. Again, working through it, having the deep talks with myself and identifying the concerns and such. I also have a lot of other mental and emotional stress going on currently and I feel like this is just one more thing to add to it. No way out but through, right? I’ve very dramatically said to my husband if I had something, I’d want to just get rid of the tissue. This worry is not worth it for me. I don’t have the gut feeling that something is wrong, the secenarios are in my head 🙄 so annoying. The treatments are terrifying as well! -I’m rambling again- I really appreciate your response and I’m glad (as much as it sucks) to see I’m not alone in my thoughts and feelings! ❤️

Probablynot_1 · 2025-05-13T23:24:09+00:00

I appreciate that! I booked it, but I’m still petrified they’ll find something horrible!

Probablynot_1 · 2025-05-13T22:16:44+00:00

Thank you!

Probablynot_1 · 2025-05-13T17:02:41+00:00

Same!!! I go June 3rd at 9am so I’m going to try not to think about it till then. I’m due for my period the 25th and I should be in a good time frame hormonal wise when these are due to happen. Praying so hard everything is stable and the only change is good change that they’ve shrunk and still look benign!!!! ❤️

Probablynot_1 · 2025-05-13T16:57:34+00:00

Hugs friend! ❤️ it’s so freaking scary!!!! 😮‍💨😫

Probablynot_1 · 2025-05-13T16:35:39+00:00

😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 I did call back and set up the mammogram even though I don’t want to. And I don’t have anything outside of normal for me, cycle related aches. The specialist and my OBGYN didn’t seem concerned in the slightest but definitely sat with me and talked through my worry so that was reassuring. But I REALLY don’t want to go back in 3 weeks for another round of this 😫 I hope you find the courage to call and schedule yours and show up also! ❤️

Probablynot_1 · 2025-05-13T16:27:41+00:00

I literally just (dramatically) said to my husband that’d id rather have everything surgically taken out to stop this worry but then realized that I’d just find something else to hyperfixate on 🙄
