What happens at breast biopsy results appointment?

Hi all,

I was seen at the breast clinic earlier this week. After a mammogram, ultrasound and 2 core biopsies I was told I have 20mm mass with lymph nodes that appear clear which they are certain Is breast cancer. 

I have an appointment late next week which is apparently due to last up to 2hrs. Can anyone tell me what is likely to happen in this appointment please? Will I be told what type and grade of cancer I have and ER/HER/P receptor status at this appointment and get an idea of a treatment plan? And potential dates for surgery etc

im doing OK at the movement, oddly calm, but do much better anxiety wise if I know exactly what to expect!

 

thank you

  • Hi Sarah on my appointment for biopsy results they comfimed the diagnosis of breast cancer the type of which mine was invasive ductal carsanoma and a stage 2 and a rough idea of the size they know more after the lumpectomy results I get mine next Monday then they'll give me a further treatment plan that works best for the type and stage they also discuss surgery with you and what's best for you and explain everything  and they are able to tell you the receptor status mine was ER positive Her2 negative I hope this information helps I know how you feel with anxiety it's horrible especially with the waiting for results but it does settle down it's your mind & body going through the normal motion after having such a shock.
