Hello MummyOfThreeLittleMonkeys

I'm so sorry to hear that you find yourself waiting for breast biopsy results. It's perfectly understandable that you're experiencing a rollercoaster of thoughts and emotions at the moment. I know that many of the members here in the Cancer Chat community will agree that this period of waiting for results is really difficult, and it's natural that our minds wander to all possible outcomes. 

It sounds like the breast care team has acted quickly to carry out the initial tests needed, and hopefully, you won't have to wait too long for the results. Did they make a follow-up appointment for you or give you an idea of when you may have some news? 

Waiting for results is a hard time. I'm sure that your little ones keep you busy, but certainly it can help with the waiting to keep yourself occupied and distracted. You might find it helpful to have a look at this thread about how to cope with waiting for news for some tips and advice to support you. If you think it may help to talk things through with one of our nurses, you're most welcome to give them a call. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. If you'd like to talk with them, they're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

I hope that you have support from friends and family that you can lean on as well. Certainly taking someone with you to an appointment can be a great help because it's not uncommon, whatever the results, for people to forget things that are said during the meeting. It can help to write down any questions you have beforehand and perhaps whoever goes with you can jot down answers and information so that you have that with you afterwards. 

I hope that you have some news soon and that when you see the team, they are able to give you some reassurance about the next steps. Keep in touch and let us know how you get on. 

Best wishes,
