Hi Laura,

A very warm welcome to our forum. I'm afraid that they way you're feeling is perfectly normal.. Most of us find our emotions go into overdrive whilst we are waiting on results. We can also become very tearful. If this happens, just let the tears flow, as this is a good release valve. We can also go to dark places, thinking of the worst case scenario. Fortunately, this seldoom comes to pass. Most of us would say that this is one of the worst parts of our cancer journey and, the wait for our results seems endless.

Have you been told when your results will be back? THey usually return within 1-2 weeks. Do please keep in contact and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Hi KelCh,

I'm glad to hear that you have had all these tests carried out today. As I said to Laura (above), the way you are feeling is perfectly normal unfortunately. Have you been told how soon your results will take to return? The wait can seem endless. Try to keep yourself preoccupied with some pastime. - the busier you are the quicker the time tends to pass. 

Don't worry about where they took the biopsy from. It can be difficult to judge where the lump is just by feel. They can see your lump on the ultrasound and this guides them to exactly where it is, so it should be in the right place. 

I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the past 11 years and a number of false alarms. In all cases my breast was a little sore for a while after I had my biopsies. Whatever you do, steer clear of consulting 'Dr Google', as this will only scare you further for no valid reason.

Of all the people who attend the breast clinic, only 1 person in 8 will receive a cancer diagnosis, so I am hoping that this is something less serious.

Please let us know how you get on when your results come through. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,
