Had core biopsy last Monday for speculated mass in breast .. been told highly likely it’s malignant .. waiting for results of biopsy.. can I ask how long have others had t wait ? Could it really be 3 weeks to find out?
Waiting times can vary from one clinic to another, depending on how busy they are. Most people get them within 1 or 2 weeks, but it's not unusual to have to wait for 3 weeks.
I am sorry to hear that they think that this could be breast cancer - how are you coping with this? I have had a couple of bouts of cancer and 1 of pre-cancer. On 3 occasions I was told by my consultant that he was pretty sure that it was cancer. He was right on 2 occasions, but wrong on the third. I am sure that this is an anxious time for you and I hope that you have some good support around you. Treatment can be challenging, but it's "doable" and I'm still living a busy and fulfilling life 16 years after diagnosis.
I hope that your results come through soon. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.
