Post breast biopsy callback

LisWoo

Hey everyone. 

I had a breast biopsy last week. The clinic just called, following MDT meeting, and have said that it looks benign but would like me to come back in for more checks. 

Whilst I hugely appreciate the reassurance: is this standard procedure? Or might it be because they were struggling to get the sample and want to repeat?

Interested in any views / experience!!

Thanks

    Update: due back in 7th October. I have now had a letter through that reads the biopsies show 'no worrying features' but 'we should review you once more in clinic +/- and ultrasound scan of this area'.

    Does that mean anything to anyone? What is the +/-?

    I'm really just wanting to mentally prepare if there is likely to be another biopsy. The Dr was struggling to get the samples, so I'm half expecting it.

    I think my greater concern is that they struggled to get the sample and might have missed something. Feels so silly to worry about that though!
