Meeting for biopsy results

I was told no results are given over the phone, so try not to worry about receiving a face to face, it doesn’t necessarily mean bad news. Good luck, will be thinking of you. X

Hi Dahr

Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear you may have breast cancer. As your appointment is tomorrow it’s probably too late to get them to ring you with the results. Is somebody able to go with you?  Why not ring the clinic before your appointment and ask if you can bring someone with you for moral support as you’re worried about your results.  The lump might be benign, lot’s of lumps turn out to be nothing to worry about. If it is bad news you’d be better off in my opinion getting it in person rather than over the phone.

Wishing you the best of luck with your appointment tomorrow.

Best wishes

Dear I was told coldly by the consultant over the phone that I had breast cancer. I was on my own as partner was at work and next nearest family was a long distance away. I would keep your appointment and take someone with you. As they say its not necessarily bad news. I will keep everything crossed for you. x

Hi Dhar. I went to see my Consultant and my breast  nurse (who I had met before) for my results. They were both Absolutely lovely and I felt totally reassured that I was in good hands, he asked me if I was okay and I said, yes I’m okay, I told him I had a hip flask of brandy in my bag if I needed it which resulted in us all laughing our heads off., I would not have swapped a face to face appointment for a telephone call. Make the most of meeting your medical  team and get to know them. Good luck hun, will be thinking about you.

I realise you will have already been for your results by now. I was more than a little surprised to suddenly get a phone call at work (in an office with other people) from a BCN telling me my initial results. I then briefly saw a Consultant when I had to go back for further tests. 

Unfortunately it makes sense, I wanted to go on my own but I was glad I didn’t. A lot of information could be hard to absorb. I was also told it was " probably “ cancer. I don’t think it’s sunk in yet and I’m half way through treatment. Please stay strong, it gives you a whole new perspective on life and I’m looking at this as a gift. It’s given me clarity. Stay strong Dhar x
