Hi im in Wales and had a mammogram over two weeks ago

But been told in our area it is normal to wait for at least 4/6

weeks for any results and i did ask if it was longer is that a good sign but they said it doesn’t work like that unfortunately

fingers crossed for you xx

Hi Nicola,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

this is always a worrying time. Whoever you spoke to is absolutely correct. There are longer delays in some parts of the country than others and sadly, the length of time you have to wait on your results is no indication of whether the outcomes are good or bad. Try to console yourself that only 2 people, out of every 10 who attend the breast clinic, will get a cancer diagnosis. Not all lumps are cancerous. Many turn out to be benign cysts or fibrous changes.

I sincerely hope that nothing untoward is found. Please keep in touch  and let us know how you get on.

We are always here for you.

Kind regards,
