Hi,
my breast biopsies have taken two weeks and today I was told they have been sent to London as they don’t know what I have is this meaning they don’t know if it’s cancer or just what type ?

Hello and thanks for posting.
It is not unusual for biopsies to be reviewed by up to three pathologists, in order to reach a definite clinical diagnosis. This is done to ensure quality assurance standards in the NHS, between different pathology processing laboratories.
I don't think you can make any firm assumptions about what the results might be just now, or why the testing is continuing.
I appreciate it is difficult waiting, and hope that you do get to find out more soon.
Best wishes,
Vanda
