Got a call to go in for biopsy results - bad news?

Hi 

I had a breast lump that they did a biopsy on and been in the dreaded 2 week wait . 
they rang me earlier saying results are back and booked me an appointment for Wednesday to discuss . 
I’m now feeling that this means it’s bad news if there calling me in for an appointment to discuss this soon ?

I was wondering if they always call people back in for good and bad news or if they say over the phone if they are all good.

    Hi Ghay,  I think it is different at all hospitals.  It doesn't necessarily mean it is bad news.  I was told over the phone I had cancer which was horrible.  I would take someone with you tomorrow, don't go on your own.  Whatever they say it is hard to remember when you are on your own.   So good luck tomorrow.  Please let us know how you get on x

    Hi Lee 

    thank you for your reply ! 
    im sorry you got told over the phone that is awful . They did say to bring someone with me tomorrow, so I am going in expecting the worst tbh. I’ve just turned 30, I went in expecting them to say it’s nothing then I heard the words biopsy and my heart sank . 
    Hope you are doing ok . 
    Will let you know how it goes tomorrow x
