4 week wait for breast biopsy

Hi there,

I am looking for some advice. I noticed a small immobile lump in my right breast and was given an urgent refferal for an ultrasound. At this appointment I had 3 core biopsies taken and was told I would be called back for an appointment to get the results (roughly 10 days, but could be slightly longer due to COVID). I still haven't received anything 2 weeks later, so called my GP who said the results can take up to 6 weeks. Does this sound right or had anyone else experienced this?

This wait is already killing me!

thank you xx

  • Hello Hrox and welcome to the forum.

    Unfortunately it does seem that the pandemic is having a big impact on results so the length of time you've been told you may have to wait for them may be correct for the area you're in.

    Many of our members are in similar positions at the moment so will know how tough this is and I'm sure some of them will be along soon to offer their support and advice.

    In the meantime, I hope these tips help you through this anxious time.

    Fingers crossed everything will be o.k when the results are back.

    All the best,
