There was about a week between my biopsy and the appointment. I'm not sure when the results would have been recieved. In this new covid world I'm not sure what waiting times are like, sorry. 
Good luck and I hope everything goes well

I thought that may be the case, i wouldn't want to get my hopes up regardless. I had my initial appointment on the 30th Novemeber, had an ultrasound and told he thinks fibroadenoma but unsure and was told because of my age (28) he wanted to do a biopsy as well to make sure so did that the same day. Had phonecall today for an appointment with him at 3.20 on Wednesday 

Sorry to hear you received bad news, hope you are doing well!

Thank you so much for any advice, i will post how i get on. Just anxiously waiting

Not sure the time of day is relevant. My wife's news was delivered in the morning.

When we were getting the full body scan results, there was a nurse that came out the room with another couple and they were obviously been given bad news. The nurse went into a room with the couple and without trying, we could hear the convo between the couple and the nurse after they had left the oncologist. The whole waiting room did.  So unfair on that couple.

As we were going in, the nurse was hanging around our oncologist's door and the wife whispered to me, "that's obviously the bad news nurse", so I was sweating bullets. Just as she was about to walk in, she left again and i knew then the scans were fine.

Not sure if we read waaaaay too much into that.  Your mind is just all over the place and you become suspicious of everyone and every little thing.

Hi Jlouise,

I didn't mean to indicate that I got bad news all the time. I have had a number of tests done in the past 12 years and despite the time of day that the results were delivered, they were about 50-50.

I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer in that time, but I still lead a busy and fulfilled life.

Kind regards,

I got my cancer results at 1pm, they had phoned me 2 days before, to come in that afternoon, I think I was put in before other patients they had that afternoon, as no one else was there.

Hi again,

You are so right - worry and stress causes all of us to try to second guess things. 

My first cancer scare was about 25 years ago when we assumed my biopsy results were bad because I had the first appointment on the first day after the Christmas break. I got the all clear after worrying over whole period as my biopsys was taken on Christmas Eve.

In 2013 the upper GI surgeon gave me a horrendous diagnosis and prognosis in a routine appointment sandwiched in between non-urgent patients with long-term conditions - it was literally “the biopsy and scans show it’s stage 4, inoperable, I’m referring you for palliative care - Ny questions?” - “oh between 2 and 6 months without chemo, up to a year with.” There was no bad news nurse hovering around and no indication that there was bad news before the appointment. 

Three years later after successful chemo we were waiting ages to see the oncology registrar. Staff kept talking very quietly and looking over at me before quickly looking away. An hour after my appointment time I was asked to see the consultant instead. I thought if ever there was an indication of bad news, this is it. The consultant opened up the discussion with “I’m really sorry for the delay but ... the hospital had lost your medical notes and the registrar has been called away - so I thought I’d give you the good news in person that your primary has inexplicably shrunk since your last scan, it’s not iften I get to give good news in my job! 

As I’ve said before, by and large NHS processes are very impersonal often busy consultants won’t have seen your results before your scheduled appointment, at least that’s what friends and colleagues who are consultants tell me.

Good luck.

Dave
