fibroid adenoma

A couple of months ago my 32 year old daughter went for her check up with the gynecologist. She found a small cyst and she sent her for an ultasound of her breast. Yesterday, she went for a follow up exam and the nodule had gotten bigger and the doctor said she needed an ultrasound giuded biopsy. She is having the proceedure this afternoon. I am so scared and worried. As a parent we only want our children to be okay and I am sitting here wishing it was me and not her. Can anyone please calm me down with some reassuring advice? Thank you for all of you out there, helping someone everyday and in everyway with your knowledge and experience and kindness.

How do you begin to thank perfect strangers for helping you? I guess by simply saying "Thank you" and wishing them well. I so appreciate your helpful comments and encouragement. Yes, the waiting is terrible...the unknown. Thinking the worst and hoping for the best. I'm not very religious, but find myself reaching out to others at times like these. I read you words and hope you continue with good health and much deserved happiness. I'm sorry you had no one to help you after the proceedure.
Take good care and thanks again

Hi
I totally understand how you are feeling. I am a 35 year old with no history of BC and just went through what I thought was a normal mammo-well one month later I've gone through two more mammos, ultrasound and finally a US guided Bioposy. The bioposy sounds scary but it honestly wasn't that bad-afterwards i was sore and had a little bit of bruising. Tell her to make sure she keeps up with the ice...15 minutes on, 45 minutes off for the whole day..The other thing is put the ice where the incision is not where the lump is( I would have done it wrong).The ice does help.
The hardest part is waiting-believe me I know..mine came back as a fibroidadenoma-which is great that its not cancer but now have to see a surgeon if it has to come out. I do not even feel it and doesn't bother me at all.

As for your daughter, we have age on our side but the only way to know for sure is the bioposy. I was so scared too but now that its over, I know it was the right thing to do. It is better to have it checked now and deal with it, than wait any longer.
Stay strong for her-she is going to need it. I was by myself and it made it harder to do the ice, get up to cook, etc etc...Please keep me posted.
Best wishes.
