Biopsy results appointment

Hi all, bit of a nervous wreck as received my date for receiving by breast biopsy results and the fact I can see a surgeon will be the person I see on the day has me worried and probably overthinking BUT just wanted to check if this is normal? I was refered 2 weeks ago by my GP under the urgent 2WW due to a large hard lump that I found on my left breast. I had my first appointment only yesterday, the ultrasound revealed a sold large lump that the radiologist graded at "borderline U4" so performed a core biopsy on the breast. Today I have received the follow up appointment via the hospital portal which has advised I will be seen by a breast surgeon. I am now worrying that this will mean bad news as I was originally told I would be seeing the same Dr I spoke with at the clinic after my initial scan and appointment.

has anyone else had their results given to them by a surgeon and received good news? 

  • Hi Gwen and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry for the worry this is causing but hopefully some of our members who have also received their results from a surgeon will be along soon to offer their support and share their experiences and advice. 

    I'm not sure from your post what day you're getting your results but I just wanted to wish you all the very best and let you know we'll have our fingers crossed for good news.

  • Hi, my letter also states breast surgery,  I think its just the department that deals with breast problems.  

  • Hiya, it's not the name of the clinic that's worrying me, it's the same clinic I had my first appointment at. it's the fact my appointment has been confirmed through my online patient portal which advices I will be requiring more tests be performed and will be meeting with a breast surgeon instead of the Dr I spoke with after my biopsy last week.

    im hoping it's completely normal to be seen by an actual surgeon and was wondering if anyone on here has been seen by a surgeon when receiving biopsy results and still had a positive outcome.
