- Anxiety and psychological stress while awaiting test results or a definitive diagnosis.
- If a biopsy is coordinated, minor risks include bruising, swelling, infection, or bleeding at the site.
- Potential for false reassurance if a lump is deemed benign clinically but requires imaging confirmation.

- Follow up as scheduled to discuss all test results (imaging, biopsy) and formulate a definitive management plan.

Anjali Mehta, a 38-year-old senior accountant...
Anjali Mehta, a 38-year-old senior accountant and mother of two young children, discovered a small, firm lump in her left breast during a routine self-exam. She had no family history of breast cancer but felt a persistent, dull ache in the area. Her GP referred her to a gynaecologist for evaluation. The gynaecologist recommended a diagnostic mammogram followed by an ultrasound, which confirmed a solid mass. Given its characteristics, a core needle biopsy was advised to obtain a tissue sample. The procedure was performed under local anaesthesia in the clinic; Anjali felt pressure but minimal pain. The biopsy results returned as a benign fibroadenoma. Physically, she recovered within a few days with only minor bruising. Emotionally, Anjali experienced intense anxiety during the 'waiting period' between discovery and diagnosis, fearing the worst for her family. The benign result brought immense relief and a renewed commitment to regular self-exams and screenings, leaving her feeling empowered and grateful.
