Of course! Honestly I scared myself silly looking on google I bet I’ve spent hours upon hours over last well few weeks. I also had a biopsy Monday they’ve called me to say benign but waiting to know follow up after mdt meeting.
I’m no expert sorry, how wouldn’t they show on ultrasound? How did they manage with biopsy mine was ultrasound guided. Everything crossed for you for positive news it’s awful waiting xxx

Thank you, I’m glad that you have had your results and benign. The core biopsy that was taken wasnt ultrasound guided for me. Not sure if that’s because the lump is easily found (she only biopsied one lump) for some reason they just arent showing on the ultrasound…although the sonographer I feel could have done a better job as she was asking me where she should scan? I have so many questions i wish i had asked. Apparently at 35 i am too young for a mammogram.
Oh I wonder why she only biopsied one? Very confusing isn’t it. Hopefully you get some answers 
Ah my hospital did say they don’t usually do mammograms under 40 but I did get one as I am 40 in January anyway xx
It is all sooooo confusing, the one she biopsied is the biggest and most irregular, the other is small and well rounded. It has me stressed to bits, thank you for taking the time to reply.
6 years ago I had a lump in the other boob, which was bengin and I was told on the day that it was benign and had a fine needle biopsy with results in three days. I did end up getting that one removed as it was very big and painful. I think the anxiety comes more from that and having answers the same day and this time has being so different with the core, MDT and nipple inversion.
I totally sympathise, it’s an awful time waiting for the results. I only ended up waiting three days and was beside myself. My results appointment isn’t until 29th so very grateful they didn’t leave me waiting. Do you have an appointment xx
I was hoping that I would have had something today knowing it was three days last time but nope nothing. No appointment was told the results would be back within 10 days and they would be in contact when they are in after the meeting. There was that much going through my mind at the time I wish that I had asked when the meeting would be held

Hope you are ok xxx
I think i was hoping somewhere on the letter it would say that they are sure its a fibro and that the biopsy was just for confirmation but unfortunately not. I think ive completely resigned myself to the fact now, im not even torturing myself being anxious anymore it just is what it is

I have read about this actually a few times! Ladies whose lumps havent shown on ultrasound but can be seen on Mammogram. Ive also seen a few where MRI has shown lumps but no other scan.
Ultrasound is difficult because the probe can only scan what it can see. So if you have larger breasts and denser tissue and the lump is deep in the breast i can be difficult to get to it. My lump was really quite deep, but i knew this from when i found it. I told the sonographer this and the consultant and said really push your fingers in here under this tissue, and luckily they found it.
The wait for MDT is not great! I used to work at the hospital and unfortunately they arent weekly as alot of the people that sit on the MDT for example oncology have so many different MDTs to attend.
Will add you to my prayers for good news
How are you feeling today xxxxx
Morning, still driving myself insane. Think i might call the hospital tomorrow and ask a few questions, mainly if they know how often the MDT meetings are held…i dont know, i dont want to come accross as difficult if thay makes sense? Back to work tomorrow too which is filling me with even more dread knowing there will be so much to go back to after a week off and thinking about this as well as managing 13 other people. Thank you everyone for your replies and kind words.

If you phone the breast surgeons secretarys and ask how often the MDTs are im sure they will be compassionate as they will deal with men and women worrying just like yourself every day 🩷.
That does sound like a tough job to do whilst having so much on your mind 
, let me know how it goes tomorrow and always just a message away on here if you need to speak to someone who understands xx
How you holding up, have you still not heard anything? Xxx
Nothing at all, im really up and down. My little boy has broken up from school yesterday so we have been keeping busy out of the house all day.
I came home today and had a letter off the hospital, took me ages to pluck up the courage to open it and when i did it was just the copy of the letter they sent to GP 
i did laugh, i thought well kirby that was very dramatic of you haha!
Nothing new on my nhs app and no phonecalls. People say no news is good news but from reading lots of posts i dont think that is the case with this. People seem to find out quicker when its benign and if it is malignant tests take longer and so does the wait. So it is making me panic abit. Then i remind myself its only been 8 days and think maybe im being dramatic again hahahaha xx

Ah I’m so sorry you are still waiting for your results 
I can’t even imagine how anxious you must be.
8 days is still early days, I know what your saying about people tend to find out quicker if benign but nothing to back that up so try not to panic. Also, don’t worry about the nhs app, I had my follow up call yesterday no follow up - and there’s nothing on my app even tho my results were back next week, so I don’t think it’ll even appear on there. They just said I’ll get a copy letter that they’ll send to my gp.
Probably a good thing little one is off and keep you distracted, although does make it harder when your mind is elsewhere. Praying you hear something soon xxx

Had another day of keeping busy today, took the dog and my little one into a nearby village with my sister and her baby for breakfast and now tucked on the couch under a blanket watching tipping point!
This time off is just what i needed. My anxiety is so much better not having to think about work and being able to focus on my boy and puppy!
Hope you are well Rachel and having a better week than last now youve got your news. No follow up is good also! Xxxx

Everyone is different but I definitely agree with you regards to work. My brain just couldn’t do a good job and worry about results, treatment plan, possible outcomes etc. The downside I’m self employed so no financial support yet (thankfully I have some savings) and I had to contact all my clients to advise them I was taking time off which was draining (no guarantees they’re coming back to me either!)
Anyway enough about me. You’re one day closer to getting the results, I think there’s a national shortage on pathologists and it’s holiday season which might also be playing a part. Will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you x

It sounds like you’ve had a lovely day! Nothing beats baby cuddles 
I totally understand the work thing. As you know my wait was very short but the two days I was at work I was no good, it was a good distraction but your head isn’t in it. You’re definitely better off not there.
I expected a follow up mammogram but yeah literally nothing, not a bad thing I suppose they must be happy with what they say. I’m beyond ecstatic, feel like it was just consuming me we’ve booked some lovely trips with little one for the summer holidays so excited for those.
I keep checking in on your posts & pray for you that you don’t wait much longer it’s awful for you sending you love xxxxx
