Biopsy yesterday and already have letter for three weeks time in pre op clinic I think

Hi I am so sorry to post but clinic closed and I’m alone. Received a letter via text and patient hub giving me an appointment date for theee weeks time in what looks like the pre op clinic. I am scared and reading between the lines which isn’t helpful I know. But I am surprised if they can tell in less than 12 hours or am I naive. The lump they disposed was tiny in my breast and no other bloods test or anything else taken. I wondered if anyone had a similiar experience. I thought I’d be called in for results and then discuss next stages if cancerous ? 

  • Hey Dita and welcome to the forum.

    So many of our members know how scary and worrying this time can be so you are not alone Dita and I'm sure some of them will offer their support and share their experiences and advice with you soon.

    We also have a team of cancer nurses you can talk to on 0808 800 4040. Their helpline is open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease whilst you wait.
