Face to face followup app breast clinic

Hi,

Hoping for some reassurance.  I had a biopsy last week following an ultrasound whereby a cyst was found on the left side of my breast - wasn't something i could feel but i did have dimpling near my underarm towards where the cyst was found.  The dr was adament it was a fibroadenoma but that a biopsy is standard and that i'd get a followup by phone.  Subsequently i've been sent a face to face appointment next week... do i need to worry its potentially bad news that they don't want to give over the phone? I thought due to covid most followups were via the phone... trying not to worry...they were adament its a fibroadaenoma - is that something they can get wrong?

THanks

Lisa
