Waiting for Breast biopsy result

Found a lump on my left breast and went to doctor. 2 weeks later had a mammogram, scan and 6 biopsy’s. they found a second lump. The doctor on the same day told me I needed to have blood tests and booked a CT scan a week later. By that point I became upset and asked if it was confirmed I had BC and the doctor and consultant kind of looked at me, made a strange face and once I started crying told me I had to wait for the results. Is this normal? It is consuming me not knowing and the thought of having BC. I am 48 and have a 13 years old boy. Don’t know what to think of all this. I have the results next Tuesday but I am so scared!

  • Have now got a Bone Scan booked for 24th. Find all this sonstressful, I have not yet been given the results from te biopsy so not been told yet I have BC but yet been sent two letter one for a CT scan and one for a bone scan. This is killing with nerves. Is this normal? 

  • Hi Ana... trust me ... most posts on here are people not coping with the waiting for results / appointments/ treatment ... us oldies on here, who are down the line are getting used to waiting now though still stressful but we've learned to try to keep busy as poss as panicking won't change result and it could be o.k ...

    It's when you sit or lay thinking ... then over thinking, then going over every sinario...and it gets so overwhelming... so do whatever you can , to keep busy and know everyone feels like you do now, when waiting for answers ... when I was where you are now, I called McMillan and just chatted about feelings and it really helped me .... take care Chrissie xx 

  • Thanks! I know and I am telling myself to stop looking at stuff on the internet because it is making me crazy! One more day to wait and hopefully on Tuesday as the answers will be answered. Xxx
