Waiting on results

Hi I’m new to the group. I had a clear mammogram 3 weeks ago. I have them yearly as I had breast cancer 12 years ago. I noticed a lump a week ago and was sent to the hospital. I went to the hospital this Tuesday. The doctor said it felt like a cyst and said we will send you for an ultrasound, they did this and then said they needed to do a core biopsy! Do they do this even if it looks like a cyst? I was sent back to see the original doctor but he got held up with an emergency that had come in. The nurse told me that someone would be in touch with my results, she said they would be back by next Thursday. I’m getting myself in a right state now, thinking the worst like you do. I also noticed on my nhs app that an appt has been made for me, for next Friday to see a care coordinator at my doctors surgery But I have no idea why they have made me this appt or even what the appt is for? Can anyone help with this? Thankyou ladies xx

  • Hello.  If you click on my name you'll see my history.  I had biopsy on good breast in year 3 as they saw something in mammogram.  Biopsy came back fine but I had to wait a further week for sign off as they wanted to repeat mammogram just in case l. Then when back on routine screening year 6 recall as they wanted better images of calcifications to check they were stable.  I'm in Wales so my GP app limited to repeat meds and allergies.
