Overthinking biopsy results

Hello

I am in the horrible position of waiting for some biopsy results. 

I asked the nurse if she could give me a hint & she said no. I then asked if anyone was ever given results over the phone, I meant if they were benign etc. 

She said “no as then they’re on their own”. I’ve taken this as my results are bad so I wouldn’t be able to get phone results. 

I told her I was terrified & she said the nurses will be there. All this has made me so paranoid. Why would a nurse be there for my results?

I don’t know why I’m asking on here. Im so sick of this overthinking and anxiety.

  • Hi! I am in totally the same situation! You’re not on your own!

    I too can’t stand this waiting, it’s doing my head in!

    I was in this situation in 2021 and had a radial scar removed by VAE. I’ve had 2 years of clear mammograms for this one to be a micro calcification cluster (same boob). I’ve been told 2-3 weeks for results after biopsy. No appointment given at this stage. In 2021 I was contacted by telephone for outcomes and letters in the post of confirmation.

    We’ll get through this! Trying to keep busy.

  • Thank you. It is absolute torture isn’t it. Keeping busy is good. Mg house has never been so sparking! I wish I could stop obsessively googling!i

    I hope we both get good biopsy results soon.

  • I am in the same boat as you waiting for biopsy results and even though it looks like all blood tests, tumour markers etc came back as normal until I am actually told by the consultant that there is nothing concerning with them I worry.  Then one day I think well how about I start to worry when they tell me there is something for me to worry about.  Then the next day I am re-reading my endoscopy report and googling every other word.  It's horrible, but I then think they are being thorough and there is so much earlier treatment now.  so fingers crossed if they do find something untoward it can be dealt with eary. 

    Keeping busy is good, I have a son with aspergers who keeps me busy, but of course he is also a worrier.  I walk my dog twice a day and that is my chance to switch off from my worry.  

    I am 70 now and I think well. what will be will be.  

    It is lovely to have the messages of support on these pages. 

    Best wishes to everyone for a good outcome XX
