I had my results today and it’s benign! I’m very relieved and just want to say to everyone here that it’s not always bad news but it’s hard not to assume it is. If you find it very difficult ask your GP to prescribe a short term anxiety relief. The support on this forum is amazing and you’ll always find someone to answer your questions or listen to your worries. I hope your result is ok JoJoBlue a lot of women have gone down this path and many are ok so keep busy and be positive xx

That is great news.

I have been reading posts and agree it has been very helpful and today focussed on work which really helped me keep my mind going down a negative spin.

Hi JoJoBlue,

A very warm welcome to our forum, although I'm sorry to hear why you're here.

I believe that Tongvb has given you an accurate account of what to expect at your appointment. Don't worry about the "2 week urgent appointment". This is normal, where there is any suspicion that it could be breast cancer. The wait to be seen is always a worrying time and we can become over emotional during the wait. Don't worry about crying, as this is a good stress reliever. Most people don't tell anyone, other than their partner, until they know what the results are. If you need a biopsy, which many of us do, you may have to wait another 1-2 weeks to be told anything.

Staff at these clinics are usually very understanding and helpful. Of all the people who attend the clinic, 80% will get a benign diagnosis. I sincerely hope that nothing untoward is found during your consultation. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Thank you.  I am waiting on the appointment which I hope to get next week.  I actually have a weeks holiday in Florida booked for 25th Jan, and not sure what to do, but will wait see date of appointment.
