Waiting for breast biopsy results- Wait is driving me crazy

Hi everyone, 

I found a breast lump 2 weeks ago and have since had my breast clinic appointment 3 days ago in which i had an ultrasound and biopsy. They have said it could be 2-3 weeks for the wait which as the days go by i am finding it harder and harder. Im 27 and honestly thought that they would just say it is a cyst so was a bit thrown when i had to have the biopsy. I will have the results in a letter in which it will either state i have an appointment (which most likely will mean not good news the consultant said) or it will state what the lump is. Im petrified now to receive the letter and would rather just know, whether good or bad, at least then i can just deal with it. 

Sorry to ramble it is just hard to speak to family/friends if they havent been through this as i dont want to seem negative all the time 

  • I can really sympathise with you. The wait has been the worst bit so far. Do you have good days and bad days? They too first thought a cyst, then FNA indicated solid lump so had a biopsy 16th Feb. Still waiting on results. I was really impatient yesterday and called the hospital. The lady I spoke to was lovely and checked and said my name is down to be discussed at the MDT this afternoon so I'm hoping I hear soon. From what I've read they discuss all results at an MDT not just malignant so I'm holding on to hope still. 
    I hope all those waiting receive their results soon they're good. Xx

  • Hi, 

    I'm new on here but have been searching for some advice, it's comforting to know I'm not the only one going mad waiting..I had my mammogram on the 9th Feb and had to have an ultra sound with biopsy on the 10th of Feb, and have been waiting ever since for results..I keep telling myself all is well and if its been this long surely no news is good news but there's always that small thought in your mind...

    I hope.you get your results soon and it's good news .x

  • Sending love Maria. I hope you receive your results soon xx

  • Haha wish it was as long as whole days, more like periods of good hours and bad hours and I just flip flop in between! Ever so comforting to know I can come on here when I'm in a anxious period. I normally wouldn't even be anxious (it's almost definitely benign) but then having to wait so long is what's making your mind go crazy and swing to the what ifs! 

    Thats so good to know that they've discussed it today! I wonder how long you'll have to wait now? Did the lady on th phone give you any indication? Have you got an appointment or anything yet? I had mine 2 days after you (18th) and have an appointment for 10th March. Think I may have to prepare myself for not finding out until then but am holding out hope I'll get a letter before then!

     

    Xx

  • Best of luck Maria. ️

    I know right, it's the waiting with no information other than your own imagination and google that allows those small doubts to set in. I hope you find out soon! If you don't hear anything back at all by the 3/4 week mark for peace of mind it might be worth following up to see where its at? 

  • Thankyou . I definitely will chase it up,  i will try amd stay away from google as said before its conflicting and does make you worry. hopefully though i won't have to wait much longer.xx

  • Hello Ladies 

    I didn't realize biopsy results were discussed at MDT meetings? I thought this was only for cancer...freaking out a bit here now ladies

  • Hi....

    As far as I know MDT meetings are held all the time and they discuss several different patients even if the results are all fine...I looked at my medical records a few days ago and it says an MDT meeting was held last Monday but it didn't say if was in regards to biopsy or just in house at my gp surgery about who knows what...

    Would definitely be nice to know...I definitely understand why you are anxious about it.x
