Hello there kimberley and thanks for posting

I am sorry to hear you are undergoing some tests to check for breast cancer. Unfortunately no one on here can tell you what the results are going to show but I can imagine this is a worrying time for you considering what the doctor and nurse have said to you.

Usually cancer can only be diagnosed and confirmed by a range of different test results and the biopsy result is the final piece of the puzzle for a breast cancer diagnosis.

I have to say there are times when the consultant through years of experience, the examination of the breast and from the images of the scan that can lead them to be suspicious about what is going on. There are of course times when they will be proved wrong but I don't think they comment about such things lightly and often do so to try and prepare people for what may come.

Macmillan nurses are often sitting in breast consultants appointments because in each of their clinics there will be a range of different patients undergoing tests, those being diagnosed or those already receiving treatment.

This time of waiting and not knowing must be unsettling and I hope you have some family and friends you can share with and who can support you at this time.

Please get back if you have further questions and you are also welcome to call us on 0808 800 4040 Monday-Friday 9-5 to talk things through.

Best wishes

Naomi
