Hello all,
I am new to this forum and really need to vent to peaple who can understand!! So here goes!
I had a lump in my left breast which after mamo ultrasound and bopsiy was diagnosed as a fibroadenoma thankfully last month. They discovered a small area of microcalcification during the assessment on the right breast and i was refered for a steroetactic biospy. My referal was lost in the system and delayed for about 2 weeks but I had the biopsy and was told the samples would be back within a week. After hearing nothing for a week I chased it up as I had no follow up appointment scheduled, the breast care nurse assured me it would be back by friday. This Friday came and still nothing I chased the results but was told they couldnt find anything. I work in a Pathology Lab and realised somehting was a miss as I am aware of how long these things take.
Anyway to cut a very long story short they finally admitted that there was a problem (after much pushing) with the labelling on the sample and that I require a repeat stereotactic biopsy but they were waiting from the consultant to return from holiday this coming monday so that he could tell me himself.
I feel so frustrated has this happened to anyone else on this forum?
Thanks
