Unexpected Biopsy and the wait

I was referred to the breast clinic after I found a lump in my breast, as a family member had coincidentally also mentioned they also found a lump and was told on their appointment it was a cyst, I was very much expecting the same.

I am 24 years old, my mum has had cancer but not anything breast related and the consultant gave the impression when he asked what type that it would have any influence. I thought I would have a scan and it would be a cyst or something, ended up getting a biopsy that day. I was told I would get results in post between a week or 2, it's been 10 days and I've not heard, its always the wait that's the worst though.

Sorry for rant, it was needed

  • Hi sorry to jump on your post. I'm in a similar situation. Felt a lump, saw GP, fast track referral, seen in the breast clinic for an ultrasound and they decided to do a biopsy on 10th Jan. Was told they'd be having an MDT meeting today to discuss results. The wait is bloody awful. I'm 99% sure it will all be absolutely fine but I just want to know either way so I can crack on. 

  • Oh absolutely, it really is the wait that's always the hardest. 

    Did you call to find that out or was it popped out in a letter? I've heard nothing yet so 100% agree and just want to know so can move forward with whatever.

    Hopefully you hear back in next couple of days and all is well :)

  • When I went to the clinic  on 10th Jan they just said I would hear back after the mdt on 20th which is today and I've not heard anything yet. I have the mymft app so I'm hoping something comes through on there soon. Best of luck to you hope you get the all clear xx
