I had a routine mammogram on the 16th September. I got a recall at the breast clinic as the found a lump in my right breast they give me a 3D mammogram and ultra sound plus a biopsy they told me I would get my results on the 21/10/24 they have just rang me to say my results won’t be ready now till the 28th October. Why is it taking so long am really worried and haven’t slept does this mean it’s defined cancer with taking so long? Are they doing further testing because it cancer am really struggling

    I'm waiting on results after being told it's very likely breast cancer but this will give me details about what type, grade, stage etc. My consultant said it could be delayed if MDT doesn't have time to discuss first week after results are back, if pathologist is busy, if staff holidays etc. Basically told me to expect a week delay. I don't think it means it's any more likely to be cancer if it takes longer.
