Biopsy x 3

Hi ladies,

I was called back to the breast clinic following a routine mammogram for further investigations. My appointment was on Monday and the consultant decided to do 3 biopsies as he had seen 2 areas in the left breast and also one in the lymph node. He said there is definitely an area causing concern which will need treatment.  My follow up appointment isn't until the 13th January which I am finding very hard to deal with. How I am going to get through Christmas and then have to wait until the 13th Jan is causing such a mixture of emotions. I am usually a strong person but really struggling at the moment.
  

  • Hello Gilly

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently attended breast clinic and that you had some biopsies whilst you were there. I know how worrying this time of waiting for results can be and understandably it will be difficult over the Christmas period. 

    It can help to talk things through with someone and I wondered if you might find it useful to chat with one of our team of nurses. I'm sure that they would be able to offer you some support and advice to help you manage over the next few weeks. 

    If you'd like to speak to them they're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
