Thanks for that and yes, googling is not a good thing, especially late at night. Funny enough my husband works for Google...I should know better. He delayed his return...he works from Denmark...so he could come with me for my biopsy so not sure when he will be back.

Hi Janey and welcome to the forum. Sorry to read your post it is a scary time waiting for test results it’s the worse part really. Try and keep busy and as Marlyn says try and say away from google. There is lots of ladies on here who will give you some advise so just ask away. The advise you get off here is so much better than in books or google because it’s from people who have been or going through it so it’s more realistic please keep in touch x 

Hi Janey,

Waiting for results is one of the scariest times of any cancer journey. Unfortunately, it usually takes 1-2 weeks to get the results of breast tests. With your husband and son both being away from home, you must be more worried than most. Do you have any other relatives or friends who you can confide in? You really do need someone who you can bare your soul to.

The best thing that you can do to pass the time is to keep busy. If you can, I would certainly advise that you take someone with you when you get your results.

As Marilyn has already said, there have been a number of microcalcifications on this site recently, but most of them have come back clear.

I sincerely hope that you have the same great outcome.

Please keep us updated. We are always here for you, so you don't have to feel so alone.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Thanks everyone, great advice because, of course, I did speak to Dr Google and scared myself stupid. I don’t have any family around me, I moved away many years ago and, to be honest, if my hubby isn’t home I’d rather go alone. If it’s bad news I don’t want to put any of my friends in the unenviable position of being with me. Not sure if I will be contacted by letter or phone? I worried for five days when I got the callback and now I’ve potentially got nearly two weeks to worry. I wouldn’t mind if the stress made me lose weight ha ha but I eat when I’m worried.

This site is great and I’m really grateful for your support.

Morning, I had to giggle when you said hubby worked for google ( see what I did there?) When I had my biopsy the nurse told me not to read too much into the way I was contacted i.e....letter or phone......I got a phone call, I asked the lady if she knew my results, she said even if she did she couldn't discuss them as she wasn't a doctor ( makes sense) you can read all sorts into any kind of scenario, it's a matter of calming your thoughts....which must be doubly difficult for you being on your own.

I found this forum invaluable.....and you will too.... xxxx

So I now have an appointment to discuss the results of my biopsy and my stress has gone into overdrive. Not sure what to expect...I have to be there for 8.30am and I’m even reading stuff into my early appointment. 

Morning, this is protocol, although I know it's still a horrible time...waiting waiting waiting!! When you get a mo please let me know how you get on? 

My cancer nurse phoned yesterday....it seems I need chemo! I will know more at next wed appointment....You  can imagine all the stuff going through my mind...

we can do this....we will do this!! Xxx

Will be thinking of you please let us know how it goes. Take some deep breathes. Are you taking someone with you to write down what’s said because your mind will go blank and when you come out you will think did they say that? X

My appointment is not till the 5th...so lots more time to worry, but of course I’ll let you know how I get on. Do they really tell you stuff like needing chemo over the phone? Wow
