1. Aww thankyou love it is scary and they dont tell you anything i hate these biopsys im scared of needles as it is and have panic attacks in those machines. I had melanoma skin cancer ive already had two surgeries on my arm but i was lucky i got all clear of that but im so so sorry hear of your husband its so sad. I lost my brother last year to lung cancer it was awful it was he got all clear then it went rapid it broke us all to pieces and now this im scared to death doesnt even come close to how im feeling. Ive never suffered from anxiety but now i am doing. Thankyou for your lovely words xxx

Hi - just checking in to see how you are doing.  I got a letter today telling me that my case was discussed in tuesdays MDT meeting and they are waiting further tests on my biopsy.  I'm completely overwhelmed with worry and anxiety.  What does this mean?   Have you had your results yet? xx

Hello and thanks for your further post.

When the MDT team say they’re waiting for further tests on your biopsy, it usually means that the sample that has been taken needs more detailed analysis or additional testing before they can tell you anything definite.

Easier said than done but try and take it one step at a time until you know more. Some people find talking it through with family and friends and keeping busy can sometimes help. 

I hope you know more soon. Give us a ring if you would like to talk things over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Kind regards,

Celene
