Awaiting breast biopsy results

Hi everyone 

I’m 56 and had discomfort:pain in my left breast so visited my GP she found a 3cm lump.  Went to breast clinic, had mammogram, consultant said nothing present, went home, was called the next day to be asked to come in for ultrasound, 1week wait, as soon as the sonographer put the ultrasound thing on there it was, a dark mass, she did a biopsy, took 3 samples, and popped in a marker.  I’m getting my results on Thursday and I’m like a cat on hot bricks. I’m not so bothered about me I’m more bothered about how my husband and children will react if it is C

my question is, if it was clear wouldn’t they just send me a letter to say all is fine and you are discharged or do they call all biopsy patients in to discuss the results.  I just want to be put out of my misery x

  • Hi Jobean

    i think im In a similar situation to you - I’ve been asked to go back into the breast clinic this Friday to get my results which automatically makes me think that the news isn’t going to be great. I was thinking about calling my gp tomorrow to see if the results were available to see but if they say they can’t tell me over the phone it’ll just make me worry even more! 
    it’s the not knowing, I just want to know what’s happening so I can make a plan but also, the thought of going into my appointment fills me with dread x

  • I got diagnosed 3 month ago and just started Chemo, I can say hand on heart please take a friend with you for results. I got a negative for a second lump and got a phone call to tell me results.
