Hi all. I am new here and waiting for biopsy results. I had a mammogram and ultrasound on Tuesday as my GP felt a lump after I went in with breast pain. I was expecting it to be a cyst as she had said it was soft and movable. After the tests, they said they needed to do a biopsy as the lump looked suspicious. I was told I would get results at an appointment next Friday. Yesterday however, I had a phone call off a lovely nurse who said they would be phoning me today with results as they don’t like to leave people waiting. I asked if they would give bad news over the phone and she said no, they would wait for the face to face appointment. So now it’s nearly 4pm and I haven’t had a call- I’m going out of my mind imagining the worst and I just can’t calm down. I’ve called and been told I will have to wait till next week but that the nurse will call me back at some point to talk to me. I wish I’d not been told they might call! Anyway, just wondering if anyone else is in a similar position?
I’m sorry for you that was the plan. It’s far worse to have to assume no phone call means bad news, but without more information so you know what you’re dealing with and what needs to be done. I hope you get a phone call but if not, please know that there are so many different things this could be and so many excellent treatments. If you can, fill your weekend with distractions and lovely things. Every one on her knows that the waiting is the worst time. Much easier when you know what’s what. Take care
Hello! I’m sorry you’re going through this today and will have this worry with you over the weekend. I know they have a lot of work on and are very busy, but it’s not fair to leave you worrying like this. Fingers crossed for you that everything gets clarified soon 
Thank you both. I called the nurse in the end and she said ‘not all of the results are back’ and I need to wait for next Fridays MDT. I wished she hadn’t called the day before as I’d got my head round waiting till the appointment then when she rang, I thought I would have answers sooner. Also it’s left me feeling sure it’s bad news as she basically told me they’d wait for a face to face if it was bad news and now I’m waiting… I’m a teacher and next week is my last week of holidays and I had planned to do lots of things with my kids, it’s going to be a long, stressful week.
Hi, I hope you are well, do you have a good news finally? I am waiting for the results and would wonder how many days do I need to wait…the doctor said maybe 2-3 weeks, is that true?
