Hello im new in here.

Hi, is there anyone who has been told by a cosultant that its cancer, afyer finding a breast lump and it showimg up.as a hard mass on an ultrasound,  and after5 biopsies were taken but not sent off  to be tested yer. But have been told  that they will recieve a call once pathology have looked at all biopsies under a mucriscooe to determine what type of  breast cancer it is .i had a metal coil marker put in as well.

I really thiught you would  have to wait fir results to come back befire you could tell a patient its definitely cancer?. Has anybidy else had this happen ?, just wondering .

  • Hi jassoscared. 

    Sometimes you are told before all details are in. 

    I was told after blood test results by my Dr, then had scans and biopsy to confirm exactly where what stage and treatment options, 

    From being told to starting treatment took nearly four months. That was Feb 2016 and I'm still going strong.
