Breast biopsy

I had a biopsy taken last week and am awaiting results. The Consultant thought it was fat tissue, just wondering if this is obvious for the trained eye/whether there is still a likelihood it may come back malignant. 

  • Hello Lilypad

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently needed a breast biopsy. The Consultant will have based their suspicions on what this lump is based on any ultrasound or mammogram that you had at your appointment along with their clinical experience. However it's the biopsy that will give the definitive answers about what is going on for you. 

    We know that this period of waiting for results can be a really difficult time for lots of people. Try to keep busy and not think too far ahead. If you'd like to speak to one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040 (Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm) for some advice and reassurance. 

    I hope you have some news soon. 

    Best wishes,
