So 13 days ago I had two sites biopsied - a mass in my breast and an enlarged lymph node next too the mass.
Last week I asked the breast nurse several questions. One being if my results are negative will I receive these on the phone and if they are positive will I come in face to face? I got told due to covid we have actually at times gave bad news over the phone and vise versa sometimes we get people to come in to deliver good news face to face, this left me wondering when I would receive my results what they may be.
Fast forward to today - I explained my anxiety is extremely heightened the more time goes on. I am struggling to perform in my job as I am just so worried. I asked if my results were back and got told they were, they need to go to MDT on Friday and she is unable to access my results. The nurse started talking about something else, I interrupted her to clarify. You have my results but you are not able to access them personally, is that right? I got told yes, she had a look and said I have an appointment booked for Tuesday morning next week. She said to try and not worry as she will be with my when I have that appointment. I started crying and getting very upset, I said your going to tell me something bad aren't you? She then said we haven't got your results yet they need to go to MDT first. She said to try and get a note from my GP if it may help and asked if I was on anything for my anxiety?
I work as a nurse myself in a different departments, from my department MDT review is usually positive results only. Is this different for breast biopsies?
Secondly, I am petrified the fact my appointment seems so soon after the MDT review that it is something bad.
The fact the nurse will be with me in the room is also raising my concerns I'm going to get told something bad. Has there ever been times were a nurse has been in the room when giving a negative biopsy results?
My sister phoned the nurse back as I was absolutely distraught. My sister said how bad my anxiety is she said they are not able to say my results they need to be reviewed and all results go to MDT.
My sister asked if I could have an appointment Friday afternoon after MDT? She said I have been given the nearest appointment as the consultant is in theatre all day Monday and this is the next one (also raising my suspicions more I have something serious).
The nurse phoned me back to say she had spoken to my sister (it was nothing confidential discussed just general questions). She asked if I had got something sorted from my GP to help with my anxiety as she was in process of writing to my GP and going to ask to prescribe something for my anxiety. Also raising my concerns theres something serious, as my GP wont get the letter until at least Friday and if its good news it seems strange to prescribe something if its good news to help for only a day or so.
I feel so scared /worried. Can anyone help me with the above questions. Im sorry for such a long essay!
