Waiting for results of biopsy, having difficulty sleeping worrying about what's next

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    It's natural to worry about the results of your biopsy and I'm sorry to read that it's causing you difficulty sleeping. You might find this article on how to ease worry when waiting for the results of medical tests helpful to have a look through.

    The online community is divided up into different support groups, so I'm going to recommend that you join the breast cancer group as it's a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support.

    To join just click on the link I've created and once you've joined you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

    It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and any treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

  • Hi Julles, I am too waiting for results and I understand the worry. What was the reason for biopsy? What have they said they think it is? 

  • Hi Pee

    I found a lump in my left breast which is why I was sent for biopsy after having a mammogram.

    Have also had a MRI and a more detailed biopsy. Now waiting next steps
