Waiting for Biopsy results for large 'tumour' found on femur

Hi, 

I'm 26 and very scared. 

I had a biopsy done last week due to having a large 'tumor' on my femur. I've been told it's between 10-14 days for the results. In the meantime I'm thinking about what my consultant said that he is confident it's nothing sinister. Has anyone been told this but then got bad news? I'm just thinking that if hes confident then why do I need a biopsy or am I being silly? 

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I feel so alone

  • Your consultant is confident it's benign. So hold that thought! Easier said than done, I know. We all spend time imagining the worst. But your consultant wouldn't say that unless he really believes it.  But it still has to be checked out, hence the biopsy. Good luck. Harry
