Biopsy results

Hi. I had a breast biopsy 6 days ago after I found a lump and although I wasnt told it was cancer the doctor said they didn't like what they had found and it wasn't looking very good! Really wish I had asked if she thought it was cancer but I just froze would she have said this if she wasnt pretty convinced it was cancer? Really hope im not waiting too much longer for my results. Thank you 

  • Hello Emloudell, and thank you for getting in touch,

    I’m sorry to hear that you’ve recently had a breast biopsy. Having tests and then waiting for results can be incredibly stressful, and, understandably, you’re feeling very worried about what the doctor said.

    Although doctors can often share their concerns based on experience, a definite diagnosis can only be made once the cells have been examined very closely in the laboratory.

    I hope you won’t have to wait too long for your results. Living with uncertainty like this can be very difficult, and many people tell us it’s a time when they feel they have very little control.

    Please do feel free to come back to us at any time. If you’d find it helpful to talk things through with one of our nurses, our helpline is available Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm, on freephone 0808 800 4040.

    Take care,

    Jemma
