Hi Clarabelle,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

Protocols vary from one clinic to another. I understand that this extra waiting time is frustrating, but it sounds as if this is not considered to be too urgent, when your ultrasound seems benign. You are fortunate that your consultant has noticed the difference between both breasts and is bringing you back to check it out.

I am not a doctor, but I suspect that your consultant may be leaving you for 4 weeks, to see if there is any change with your menstrual cycle, as can happen. If this is the case, there will be nothing that you can do to expedite matters. I appreciate how worrying a wait like this is, but there are times when we just have to be patient. I sincerely hope that nothing untoward will be found as a result of your biopsy. Just a note of warning that if you have a biopsy at your next visit, it can take from 1-2 weeks to get the results of this.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi Jolamine, Thankyou so much for your reply it means a lot, last night I felt wet and looked and there was bloody discharge coming from my nipple of the affected breast, I’m not sure if I should call them and let them know or wonder if it’s from being prodded and poked? I just feel like a drama queen haha.

Thankyou again for your reply

Hi Clarabelle,

Keep an eye on your breast over the next few days and see if it settles. If not, it might be worth another phone call.

Kind regards,
