Hello, I am looking for some support and advice. I found a lump in my breast 6 weeks, got referred to the breast clinic and had my appointment 2 weeks ago.
During the appointment the surgeon was quite confident it was a cyst however during the ultrasound the consultant radiologist said it’s not a cyst and is a mass and would need to take a biopsy. I am now waiting for the biopsy results.
I spoke to the clinic and they said I was put forward to this weeks MDT and they would either phone me today or I would receive a letter. I know they would not send a cancer diagnosis results via a letter but is there a possibility they would send benign (Fibroadenoma) results via a letter? I work in the NHS and I just have a feeling they wouldn’t do this?
Should I be expecting a letter with an appointment at the clinic to discuss the results.
Sorry for the long rant, and I know I am over thinking everything!
Thank you.
Hi @vangirl22 I very much expect the letter will be an appointment. And if it is, it is not necessarily bad news either.
I have been called to clinic following biopsies three times now. I remember one time waiting two hours past the appointment time (you can imagine how the nerves were getting on!), only to go in and be back out again within a minute having been told everything was fine! 
Fingers crossed you have positive news - the waiting always seems to be the hardest part so try not to focus on the ‘what-ifs’ too much…

@leelee1 Thank you so much for your reply. I also thought the letter would be an appointment.
I highly doubt I will get the phone call today seeing as it is 16:20?
Pleased to hear you had good news. Thanks again. Fingers crossed 
Probably not, but if you do hear anything and have any questions then just reach out… we’re all happy to support in whatever way we can.

Hi @vangirl22
All results go to mdt meeting not just cancer , then you will get a letter for a appointment to discuss results or treatment if you need any I know it’s stressful waiting try not to over think hints easier said than done we all do it .
Good luck x
Hi @charlottebee
Thanks for your reply, I know that all cases go to MDT. The surgeon said I would receive a phone call with the results within 10-14 days. No mention of needing to come back to the clinic. So when they mentioned a letter it surprised me that this is probably a face to face appointment letter.
The waiting feels the worse past especially as it’s been over 2 weeks and that they know the results plus I live a 5minute walk from the hospital, so close yet so far.
That’s so tough living so close , when I had my biopsies I had the opposite that it was properly benign so wasn’t so worried . They said 3 weeks for results that included mdt meeting said would get letter for results , I had an appointment within the 3 weeks , the waiting is so tough.
Sending best wishes Xxx
@vangirl22 how are you doing? Did you get a phone call?
Was just thinking it may be worth looking on nhs app to see if appointment is showing in there if you haven’t heard anything yet…
