Hi! Sorry to hear that you're going through this process.
I am in the same boat, had a breast clinic appointment today for a prominent lump - I am 38 years old. They did a mammogram, then ultrasound, and took 2 biopsies (he said the second was just to make sure they had enough tissue to analyse) as the lump was solid and definitely not a cyst. 
The radiologist said there was nothing obviously suspicious but they had to do a biopsy to be sure. Saw the surgeon again afterwards and he said they've classified it as "uncertain" so I just have to wait and see. 
Just wanted to let you know that you're definitely not alone, and I hope your results come back ASAP!

So sorry I did not reply sooner, not sure why I'm not getting notifications for this thread, strange!

I'm glad that they said that there was nothing obvious that was supspicious so that's good news. Not sure what the 'uncertain' is about, were you told that the same day you had the U/S and biopsy? Are you still waiting for your results to come back through as I can see that we seemed to have had the biopsy the same day? Do you think when they say 7-10 days that they mean working days or include weekends? Just curious as it's been 7 days now so hoping the results come through soon. Hope you are keeping well x

Hi!
So after I had the mammogram, US and biopsy I was sent back to see the surgeon. He told me that the scans had been classified as "uncertain", so I'd have to wait for the biopsy results for any more info. He told me that all results are discussed at a MDT (multi-disclipinary team) meeting which is held every Friday, but as my appointment was a Thursday the results would not be back in time for that week's meeting, so they are due to be discussed Friday this week, and I should hear something next week. I don't know if it may be the same situation at your hospital? I'm not sure whether 7 - 10 days includes weekends or not. I would have thought it does but I'm definitely not certain.

My scans being classed as "uncertain" means that both the mammogram and ultrasound were M3 / U3. They use a numbering scale for scans where 1 means normal tissue, 2 means benign, 3 means uncertain but probably benign, 4 means suspicious for malignancy, and 5 means highly suspicious for malignancy. So being given a 3 for both scans means that what they saw had no obviously malignant features, but that they couldn't be certain it's benign either.
I also found from the report that the surgeon sent my GP that when he examined me he felt that the lump was a 2, i.e. benign. So I definitely feel reassured by that and hopeful that the biopsy results will be good. The radiologist said it was "probably something like a fibroadenoma, but we'll need to do a biopsy to be sure". I asked if he could see anything that made it look suspicious, and he said "there's nothing obviously suspicious but the biopsy will tell us for definite". 

Really hope you get your results back ASAP, do keep us updated! 

Hey [@dustcat]‍ 

hopefully next week comes around quick for you for your results!  My doc on Monday said it would be discussed in a panel meeting and id get the results Thursday (3days later) worried me as I think why am I going to be getting the results so quick unless it was urgent/bad!

anyway, glad you feel reassured! Keep us updated!

I don't think it's anything to do with the urgency of them, I think it's literally just that the meetings are held once a week, so if you get lucky and have your appointment on the right day, your results can be discussed the same week and you'll get them quicker! 
The good thing is that when you have your follow-up appointment (or phone call), you'll know that the results have been discussed by all the doctors (and specialist nurses) together, and so you won't just be getting the opinion of one doctor, so you can be confident that they've got things right :happy:

Hey [@dustcat]‍ 

Yes that's very true...you know there's a lot of clever brains that have reviewed it and so can be confident in what ever result they give you.

wish I thought like you! X

That is super helpful, thank you! You have given me a lot of info there that I wasn't aware of. I didn't have a mammogram due to being pregnant but that is very useful info. Thanks for responding, I will be sure to write in here once I get results. I hope yours come back quickly too but sounds very positive from what they have said so far x

Just had my follow-up appointment through for getting results - it's next Wednesday morning at the hospital :happy:

[@Worried9211] I hope you get your results today!

[@dustcat]‍ that's good to hear that you have got your appointment through! out of curiosity how long had it been since you had your biopsy before you had the appointment through today? was it by letter or a call?

Hi [@worried9211]‍  just wondering if you ended up getting your results today? If so I hope it went well x

Hey [@xemx]‍   [@dustcat]‍ 

I have a fibroadenoma!!! To say I am shocked/relieved is an understatement.  I genuinely prepared myself for bad news.  I of course feel over the moon.

 I hope that you all get good news too! I will be praying for you!  Just goes to show you.... have hope with what the outcome might be!

keep me updated x
