Waiting for breast lump biopsy

Hi everyone I am looking for some advice.
I have had biopsy done on 20/07 and consultant said its likely to be fibrodema.
I got given an phone appointment on the 28/07 but that got cancelled and now I have a face to face appointment on 21/08
Is it a bad sign that I have a face to face appointment instead?
Part of me thinks they would not wait this long if there was something concerning found in the sample ?
Has anyone been in this position?
I live in UK and my biopsy was done in Newcastle

Thank you all in advance

  • Hi Kfiatuszek,

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    Unfortunately, it is impossible to read anything into the fact that your appointment has been changed to a face-to-face appointment, at a later date - this just extends the agony of yourwait. Most surgeons prefer to give results in person, but due to how busy some clinics are, this often has to be done by post or telephone. It is possible that someone has had to cancel or change an appointment for some reason and you have managed to get their cancellation.  Waiting a month for results, also doesn't indicate whether the news will be good or bad, but I sincerely hope that it will be good.

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

    Kind regards,
