Hi, just some people’s thoughts as I am going a little crazy. I had a breast biopsy last Tuesday and then an appointment to review on the 23rd November. Got a call today and appointment now moved to this Friday afternoon. One minute I am thinking that must be good news as results back so quick and then thinking must be bad as appointment brought forward so much. Anyone else been in this situation? Thanks 

  • Hi  

    I am sorry you have needed a breast biopsy. Try not to overthink the change in your appointment date. There are lots of reasons appointments may change - staff availability, making use of slots that have become free due to cancellations. It might also be that they don’t have enough information and want you to have another biopsy or some additional scan. The good news is you don’t have as long to wait as you originally expected. I hope it all goes well for you.
