Breast biopsy - time off waiting for results?

Hi everyone,

I had a biospy on a lump yesterday that isn't a cyst or abscess. I've had a breast infection for a couple of weeks so thought lump was caused by that. I went to clinic yesterday and found that the lump hadn't reduced in size so did a biopsy straight away. I've been off work for a week and supposed to go back on Monday. My job is pretty stressful and busy, I don't know how I'll feel or cope. Anyone else taken time off while waiting for results?

    HI Sheena,

    I am sorry to hear about your symptoms. Waiting to be seen at the breast clinic to get a diagnosis, is always a stressful time. I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the past 13 years and I found that going to my work helped me to concentrate on other things. It was a relief to be able to take my mind off the lump for a while.

    I hope that all turns out well for you. Have you been told when your biopsy result will be back?

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
