Hi,

I'm waiting for telephone results too and completely understand the horrible "waiting" stage. There are some recent BMJ articles from 2019 that have information relating to telephone appointments for results. The consensus being that the majority of the time only benign results would be delivered over the phone and unfortunately it didn't speed up the results being received!
 

It isn't just the processing of your results in the lab. Alll the people you have seen at your visit will talk through every patient to make sure they all agree on your diagnosis. Waiting for that meeting can add time on unfortunately.

The Dr I saw (who was sure I too have a Fibroadenoma) did state that I would receive biopsy  results by phone call. Although did add rather quietly as I was leaving unless it was something more sinister! 
 

Lack of sleep really won't be helping your well-being, have you contacted your GP to see if they can help over this short-term worrying time?

Best wishes, Em x

Thank you for your reply. It's just so major, you're either ok or you have cancer. They couldn't feel anything on the examination but said she will put me forward for an ultrasound for my benefit. Then the lady doing the ultrasound sound said she thinks she can see something small and asked for a doctor to come in. She was quick and looked at it and said she thinks it's a fibroadenoma. I know they said it was a hard lump and it's 1cm. When are you having your results? It's its benign what would they need to talk about? I guess no news is good news. X

If the sonographer spots something solid even if it "looks" like a Fibroadenoma and you are over 30 at our clinic they "have" to biopsy it - just the rules! My lump is hard to feel and I forgot to ask the size *rolls eyes* Results are on 27th so I will ask then. 
 

I know it is hard but try and focus on something that gives you pleasure, it might give you a bit of respite from worrying x

Thank you for your reply. I am 38 so that makes sense. Fingers crossed for you for tomorrow xx
