Hi
I do not have a diagnosis but have been anxiously waiting 13 days so far since they biopsied a small hard lump in my breast.
How long have others waited in your experience? Im starting to spiral...
Background is a little more complicated:
Recurrent pneumonias, pleural effusions and atelectasis for over 3 months and 3 xrays that kept saying looks like infection although I've had no illness/mucus etc, only pain or creaking feeling when breathing in and being unable to take a fully deep breath. I pushed doctors for a ct, that I had 7 days ago. Results from that came back the same day and showed pleural effusions and rounded atelectasis (areas of lung collapse). The report said no concerning/definite nodularity however immediately following that they have referred me to a respiratory specialist under 2ww pathway and I have an appointment in 3 days.
The breast lump i only discovered a few weeks ago during a time of peak lung inflammation when my breast also became swollen and tender. GP confirmed lump and referred me for 2ww. Mammogram showed area of thickening and then they called me back a couple of days later for an ultrasound, where they found and biopsied a lump.
I'm still waiting for the biopsy results after 13 days and starting to worry that they are holding the results until my appointment and that maybe there is a link between the 2. It is all left sided - left breast, left lung problems.
There's a chance none of it is C related but it's awful not knowing. Posting here as a way to get my worries out. I don't want to cause unnecessary stress or share my anxiety with the people in my life at this point.
Have just got biopsy results in my nhs app 8 days after it was typed! Thankfully it is a benign fibroadenoma so that's one less thing to worry about. What a long time to stress though 16 days. Now on to the lung specialist this afternoon
