Hi Mumma and Syl,

I endorse Benedict's experience. I Have has 2 bouts of breast cancer and a number of false alarms in the past 11 years. On all occasions I had an anaesthetic and an ultrasound guided biopsy, which I hardly felt at all.

You normally have to wait 1-2 weeks to get the results of a biopsy and it can leave the breast a little tender for a while afterwards.

I hope that all turns out well.

Please let us know how you both get on and, remember that we are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Thanks for your reply @jolamine. Will pop back Wednesday and let you know x

Hi Syl,

I hope that all goes well for you on Wednesday and look forward to hearing from you then.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi [@Jolamine]‍ and [@Mumma123]‍,

I've just got home from my breast clinic appointment. I can confirm the biopsy is not at all painful. Just a bit uncomfortable with the pressure but that was all. 

@Mumma123, all the best with yours- the lead up to it is worse than the actual procedure.

Hi Syl,

Many thanks for your update. I'm glad to hear that your experience was the same as Benedict's and mine. As you say, the lead up isworse than the actual procedure - fear of the unknown is an awful thing.

Have you been told when your results will be back? I hope that they don't take too long. Please let us know how you get on. Remember that we are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi Jolamine,

Thank you again for your reply. It means a lot.

Yes the fear of the unknown is horrible. And that's still lingering for the results a bit. 

They have said 2 weeks, I have to wait for an appointment. She did say it would probably be a virtual appointment aswell. I will update again once I have had my results.

Thank you xx

Hi Syl,

Yes, it'll be a worrying 2 weeks. Try to keep yourself busy to help pass the time.

I look forward to hearing your results, but am keeping my fingers crossed meanwhile.

Kind regards,

Hi @jolamine, 

Just popping on to update you following my biopsy results appointment today. 

It turns out it was just a fibroadenoma. Obviously very relieved. 

Just wanted to message you to say thank you for all your support, it has been so valuable to me. I really do appreciate it. I really wish you all the best for your future and thank you for the kindness you have shown on here, to me and many others xxx

Hi Syl,

Thank you so much for your kind comments. I reply to posts because I still remember just how scared I was 11 years ago and, I got some great support from others on this forum.

Its so lovely to have spoken to people who know exactly how you feel xx

That's fantastic news I am glad you have finally got answers and now you can feel you can move on from worry. :) xx

I should get my results tomorrow, I rang up the Endoscopy Unit this morning the secretary said she will get my letter signed by the consultant to pass onto my GP. Sounds like they want a follow up so I am abit anxious.
