Waiting on biopsy results

Hiya, guess I’m the newbie!

Had a biopsy last night and get the results tomorrow. To say I’m terrified is an understatement!

2

I’ve been reading some of these chats and there have been many mentions of ‘9 out 0f 10 are benign’. Does anyone know if thata biopsys or lumps in general?

Yes - that’s a questions I have also. Is it just that we are only reading of the bad stories…

Hi Chewbacca,

I am sure it refers to lumps in general and not biospies, I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.

I hope you get good news tomorrow, please let us know!

Hi Chewbacca
Sorry that you have had cause to join the forum here. Wishing you well for your results tomorrow. I cannot answer your question re how the stats are worked out.
9 out of 10 are benign, keep that thought. You will however worry til you get the results whatever anyone says.
All the best Alice

I’m feeling for you chewy - this is one of the worst waiting stints, IMO. Though perhaps the rapid call-back after a standard mammogram is on a par. You’ve only got to hang in there until tomorrow - grit your teeth and endure. Have a glass of wine or get out in the garden, whatever helps you relax. There is no point in excavating the statistics unless you’re into quantitative data analysis - because you’ve no way of knowing where you’ll be on the curve.

Here’s hoping that for you it will be the benign side - but if it’s not, you’ll find the strength to deal with it and probably a few fringe benefits in terms of self-knowledge along the way. I’m currently about six weeks after diagnosis and four weeks after op - and it’s all do-able. I’m finding it kind of fascinating to tell the truth.

All the best - hope you’ll be celebrating putting the scare behind you this time tomorrow evening.

Hi ladies! Just to let you know I got the most amazing news last nite that my lump is benign! Still cant believe it! I thought it might sound a bit boastful coming back on here but having read so many of the chats over the last week I remember loving finding the ones that worked out fine so if this helps just one woman for 5 mins then its worth it. I had 6 core biopsies which convinced me that I had it, so it’s not always the worst.

I really do wish you all well,

Take care
