Second Biopsies after breast biopsies: been told I need further lymph node biopsies

Having waited 17 days for the results of my breast biopsies I finally went back to the clinic yesterday only to be told I needed further biopsies of my lymph node. 
Has anyone else had this happen ? I don’t know what to think!

  • Hello Beep3, 

    I can imagine this is a bit confusing for you after waiting all this time for your breast biopsies results. I hope you won't mind but I have slightly edited the title of your thread so that it can be spotted more easily by others who have had lymph node biopsies in a similar context. 

    There is information on our website on lymph node ultrasound and biopsy which I hope you will find useful and which will help you prepare for the biopsy. If you have any questions about this, feel free to get in touch with our cancer nurses on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

    I hope that you can have these biopsies very soon and that you will quickly get some definite answers. Keeping everything crossed for you and let us know if you get a moment what you find out. 

    I will now let our members who have had a lymph node biopsy before come and say hello and share their experience with you. 

    Best wishes,
