Waiting for core biopsy results

Hi was wondering if anyone is in the same position as me or had similar experience I went to gp over a lump in breast was referred to hosp where I had mammogram and ultrasound.  They said I had cysts which they drained but they said the lump was solid so they have done a core biopsy.  They said the results would not be ready for 2 wks and that I could have a hosp app or a phone call.  I've opted for a phone call.  Do they normally take this long.  The dr gave me no idea what she thought it was only that she wished she could prepare me either way but she dosent know.  I'm new to this site so I apologise if I have put this in the wrong place

  • Hello Jacksamemma and welcome to the forum.

    The waiting times for results may be slightly delayed due to the pandemic and can differ depending on what part of the country you're in but hopefully it won't be too much longer before your results come through. 

    As many of our members here will tell you, the waiting is always tough but I hope this information I've found will help keep those nerves at bay.

    Fingers crossed for good news Jacksamemma.

    All the best,
