Waiting for breast biopsy results

Hi,

I was referred to a breast clinic at a hospital in Cheshire due to a lump I felt next to my nipple. I had an ultrasound and it turned out to be a cyst however the found something else and wanted to take a biopsy there and then. I then was advised I would received a telephone appointment the same week which is today. The MDT meetings are held every Friday morning and I'm sat currently waiting for the call. I'm really worried as I'm sure everyone is in this position. My question is, would they phone me this quick? I have also had a letter confirming an appointment which apparently is standard for two weeks time which has left me really confused. Has anyone else had results back this quick?

  • Hello Sarah!

    small world! I am the same hospital and waiting on same results!!!

    i went last Friday for my breast appointment and had my biopsy taken. The consultant told me i would either get a phonecall or appointment following today's MDT..I then got a text on weds advising me i had an appointment next weds (27th) which I can't make as i'm on holiday. I rang appointments today and they said the breast nurse had emailed them today giving me an appointment on the 5th August. I would give appointments a call. The appointments lady told me today that they always give results by appointment now . Xx

  • Hi, wow really it is a small world ha! thank you for getting back to me. I have phoned them up at dinner time and she said the meeting usually finishes at dinner so she would think I would call this afternoon as it says appointment is 22nd July. It's the waiting that's so worrying, I'd just rather know either way. The letter I got sent has confused me, I will give them another ring and see what they say xx

  • Yes just ask them. I asked them about the text message i got and she said it was a standard follow up appointment. Although the fact the breast nurse has asked today that  i come in after my holiday suggests they want to see me about something that has popped up in my biopsy.

    Let me know how you get on xx

  • Fingers crossed for both of us, I will update the post when I know more thank you again xx

  • Just a quick up- I had a call this morning and it was a benign lump, thabk god. What an emotional roller coaster, hope you get some answers this week x 

  • That's good to hear! I have an appointment next week which suggests they need to take some action on mine. I have a holiday to go on first though so putting it to the back of my mind x
