  • Hello Nutterles and thanks for posting

    I am sorry to hear you are awaiting results from a recent breast biopsy and can imaging what a worrying time this must be for you.

    Keeping yourself busy and your mind on other things often can help at times like this, however until you  have the results this is bound to play on your mind.

    Hopefully on wednesday you will know exactly what this is and what may or many not need to happen next.

    I wonder if you have some family or friends around you to help you through the next few days. Sharing something with someone else can take the pressure off a little and be a support to you.

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    wishing you all the best,

    Naomi
