I had a breast biopsy last week and have to go to ‘results appointment’ next week
do all patients have a results appointment regardless of the news being good or bad? So stressed and worried over this any help would be appreciated
Try not to worry until you get the facts. I had wished someone told me this. I know it's easier said than done. Try to keep some normality or catch up with family or friends or keep busy till next week. The waiting is really horrid as your mind does play so many tricks and takes you to the worse places!! Don't let it!

Yes. Depends on the place where you go. Sometimes they arrange for a Nurse to tell you results on the phone. They would have told you what will happen. You would hear even if the result was a good result. A face to face appt is better than a phone call though. Hard not to think about it all the time, but try to switch off and do some nice things to take your mind off it, as the others have said.
