Waiting for biopsy results....

Hi guys , today I've been to the breast clinic and they have found a large 'mass' not consistent with a cyst , duct, etc. I've had 3 core biopsies done and now I'm just sat waiting nervously. I'm 31 and terrified. How can I make this next week easier on myself...

  • Hi Maddysmama 

    Welcome to the forum and I'm sorry to hear that you're waiting on a diagnosis at the moment. This really can be a difficult stage. I know that many of our members here find that waiting for tests and results can cause all sorts of anxious feelings to surface. 

    It's super easy for me to say but try to keep busy between known and your appointment. Keeping busy will decrease the amount of time you have to think about things which is what heightens your anxiety. 

    If it would help you to chat to one of our team of nurses about things then do give them a call. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Kepp in touch and let us know how you get on at your appointment next week. 

    Best wishes,
