Waiting on Biopsy results

After recovering from a strangulated parastomal hernia with emergency surgery in the summer, I got call back from mammogram last week.  Ultrasound and biopsy on one side ( other looked fine) scary wait for results next week. Really thinking "why me !" 

  • Hello Brechin

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been recalled following your recent mammogram. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious while waiting for the biopsy results. 

    We know that for many people this period of uncertainty can be difficult. Many members will be able to understand the "why me" thoughts that also come along with facing the unknown. It can sometimes help to talk with someone and I wonder if you might find it useful to talk with one of our nurses ahead of your results appointment. I know they will be happy to offer any advice, information and support they can along with helping you think about any questions you might want to ask the breast care team. If you'd like to talk with them they're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope that next week's appointment brings some reassurance. Let us know how you get on Brechin. 

    Best wishes,
