Waiting results

Hi  

Just come back from a repeat breast biopsy. Doctor was lovely but explained that my imaging showed something nasty but my original biopsies didn't agree, and he thinks they missed the 'spot'.  This time the biopsies felt deeper in my breast   Now it's a waiting game for the results. Am I jumping the gun by assuming the worst? Has anyone else experienced this? 

  • Hi Clairey782

    The wait must be unnerving for you. I hope it isn't breast cancer. If it is hopefully they have caught it early. 

    Like many tests the waiting is horrible.  

    Good luck let us know how you get on x

  • Hi Clairey,

    I am sorry to hear that you are in the unenviable position of waiting for results again. It is always frustrating when you don't get clear results straight away, but it is good to hear that your consultant is being thorough and doing another biopsy. Without an accurate diagnosis, it is difficult to plan the right targeted treatment.

    This does unfortunately, happen quite frequently and there really is no way that you can be certain, until you get the results of the second biopsy. Have you been told when the results should be back? I hope that you don't have too long to wait, as this is always an anxious time.

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

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

  • Thank you. Never thought I'd need to reach out like this, but it makes it a bit better knowing there's support out there. X

  • Thank you. I can't fault the hospital. Waiting for the appointment to come through for the results, been told it'll probably be in 2 weeks.  Thank you for replying x
