Waiting for breast biopsy result

Hi

I had a breast biopsy and mammogram done last week and have spent the last 6 days in complete fear of the results. After the biopsy and mammogram I was called back into a room with the doctor and a bcn to be told the mammogram was very worrying as the mass looked highly suspicious. As a 42 year old mother of 2 I have been beside myself with worry it’s been with me 24/7 and anxiety levels through the roof!

Today I got my results (I was literally crying on the way into doctors room) it’s not breast cancer, it’s a Fibroadenoma. I wanted to share this so that anyone going through this awful time can see suspicious lumps don’t always mean cancer. I also want to wish everyone good luck whatever their outcome xx

    HI Twin 33,

    I am glad to hear that your surgery is behind you and that you should get your pathology results on Friday. This is always a worrying time and most of us feel as you do whilst we are waiting.

    I hope that all turns out well for you. Please let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Hi Twin33,

    Protocols vary from one hospital to the next. This can still change at the last minute. Some consultants like to give all results face-to-face, whilst others are quite happy for their breast cancer specialist nurses to deliver the news.

    I imagine that there is a cost cutting exercise in this too, as it will surely be cheaper to have a nurse report on the findings, than a consultant?

    Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

    Kind regards,

    Hi Natalie,

    A very warm welcome to our forum. I am sorry to hear that you are in this unenviable situation too. Waiting for results is always a tough time. You are actually fortunate, in that you don't have too long to wait. Try to keep yourself busy until Tuesday. 


    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for good news.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
