Hi Clare  im no expert in this and myself am waiting to attend my apt on Monday as I've been called for further investigations following an annual mammogram, I've been recalled a few times and have had biopsy's, and going from past experience all biopsy's take around a week to come back, All core biopsies have to be sent off for analysis, my previous biopsy came back fine but oh my god that weeks wait was the worst week ever, I totally understand your anxieties, i hope you get some comfort in chatting on here, I know it helps me x

Hi Claire I can totally understand how you are feeling I had my breast clinic appointment on Tuesday 26th i had mammogram ultrasound and fine needle aspiration. I was told they believe that the lump is benign a fibroadenoma but because of my age 47 they want me  to get a core needle biopsy done. They couldnt do it on the day. So I need to go back and then wait for results. It is good they are being really thorough to make sure all is okay. I hope you are OK and your results are good news.

Hi I'm your age, 38 and have a young child. I had ultrasound, mammogram and last week had a core needle biopsy. I await my results on Tuesday. You are not alone and the worry is natural. I'm trying to be focused on the present and busy myself with Christmas preparations, but hard to completely keep the worries at bay. Here any time to chat and let me know how you get on. 

So I went for my results yesterday and unfortunately it wasn't the news I was hoping for. It's come back as stage one breast cancer. I'm absolutely devastated, all I can think about is my kids. 
They did more scans yesterday and said it hasn't spread but did more biopsy's and put markers in. My head is a mess so I have no idea why they put these in. All I know is that I have to go back on Tuesday for a treatment plan. I feel like my whole world has come tumbling down. I don't know how I'm going to get through this x

Hi Claire I am so sorry about your diagnosis of cancer thinking of you. You can speak to nurses on this website there should be a phone number you can call. There is a newly diagnosed forum and you can chat to other people that are going through the same and support each other. If you need to chat just keep posting. Thinking of you.
