The wait for test results is Hell on earth

My lovely mum who is in her 50s recently found a lump in her breast and changes to her nipple. She did the right thing and went to her GP who then referred her for a mammogram, etc. She was there on Monday with her partner and essentially, the consultant doesn't like the look of what is going on in her breast and in her lymph nodes. We're now playing the waiting game for the biopsy results to come back. It is pure torture. I think I am doing worse than her as I'm in a constant state of anxiety and bouts of tears. She's not a grandma yet. I'm so scared.

  • I'm waiting for results too. The consultant thought i had a cyst from the physical examination. The ultrasound showed very different characteristics though - jagged edges, cloudiness- so i have been terrified ever since. I should have got my results last weds (10 days later) but i have had to come abroad for my brother's wedding. I now get the results this Friday - 3 weeks after the biopsy. It's been a long wait x
