Waiting for Biopsy results

I had felt three lumps on my left breast and was referred to the hospital. Both my GP and consultant at the hospital said it is most likely a fibroadenoma. After I did my mammogram / ultrasound she said we should do a biopsy on your left breast just to check. I went back to my consultant on the same day and she said she'll contact me within a week. It's been two weeks and I called a few days ago and the receptionist said there has been no letter or results yet on my file. 
 

im assuming everything is fine and it is most likely a fibroadenoma but at the same time the long wait is making me anxious about my results. Anyone have same experience/s? 
 

sorry for the long post. Just wanted a little vent

    Hi Mariananisree,

    A very warm welcome to our forum. I am sorry to hear about your anxiety.  Unfortunately, this is a common ocurrence when you are waiting for results. I am surprised that you have been waiting 2 weeks when your consultant told you that it would be one week. Most of us are waiting 1-2 weeks for results at present, although in some areas it can be a little longer, due to Covid.

    Why not phone your consultant's secretary again and see if they are back now? Whatever the result, you should still be told what it is. Tell the secretary that you were advised that the results would only take a week and let her know how long you've been waiting. You could then ask her to investigate why this hasn't come back yet.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,
