Waiting for biopsy results

Hi, I'm Laura, I'm a newbie here. I had a mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy done on friday, last week and the waiting is so hard. One minute I'm convinced that I've got cancer and the next I think, " dont be daft, it's probably nothing". Is this quite normal?

  • Hi laura74

    ive had my mammogram today with scan and then told I needed biopsy so had that aswell, I've now got the long wait too, I'm up and down one min I think nothing to worry about then another I just sit and cry

    the area where they took the biopsy from doesn't seem to be where my lump was either and it's sore 

    please keep in touch

    The waiting is awful, isn't it? I still haven't heard anything and I keep thinking,  the longer it takes, the more likely it is to be bad news. I know it's silly, but I can't help it. I suppose we just need to stay calm and hope for the best. 

    Keep in touch and let us know how you get on.

  • Hi all. I gave in and rang the hospital today. My lump is highly likely to be a fibroadenoma but I have to go back and have a biopsy done on a second lump under my nipple. I know i should feel relief, but it feels like 1 step forward and 1 back. I can't help wondering why they didn't biopsy both lumps at the same time, if they were concerned.  Am I just being paranoid, or are they just taking extra precautions?...
