Biopsy Results Appointment

Morning 

It is normal to be called in they like to discuss results with you face to face. I know we always assume the worst but try to stay positive. Always here if you need to offload xx

Hi 

I am sorry you are having a tough time.

I had biopsy results face to face with consultant. It’s standard in our NHS trust to have this. 

I know what you mean about the waiting- it’s awful and I think that when I got the news it was cancer- it was a relief just to know. 

I had surgery last month and am waiting (again!) for oncology appt for next steps. 

wishing you all the best with your appointment x

It’s a waiting game to be sure. And it can be quite excruciating, exhausting too, not only for you but anyone else involved. 
I think it is a personal thing. Ever since I had mammogram recall letter, I have hoped for the best but prepared for the worse. So far that has worked for me, but is mentally hard work. 
I’ve got my mri Monday. I HOPE it is contained and in one breast, but need to prepared of that not being the case so l  can cope. I have grade 2 lobular. That’s my approach to it. 
Seems you get the answer to one thing, then that is replaced by another thing to wait on. So you have to learn to live with that anxiety and don’t wish days away. Xx 

Hi Seasonwatcher

sounds like we have similar stories. I have bilateral grade 2 lobular cancer which was not picked up at mammogram but at my MRI. 
I also hope for the best but plan for the worst. I keep wanting it to be over but I think it’s dawning on me that the waiting may be part of life now- whether it’s results, appointments, check ups, phone calls….

I will be planning some lovely trips away in the new year as a reward for putting on my brave girl pants and dealing with all of this.

wishing you all the best with your MRI x 

Hi welcome

Waiting is the worst part of this journey. It took 6 weeks from GP referral to us and mammogram, biopsies which happened in 1 day. I got scan results the same day but had to go back 2 weeks later for biopsy results and then when the consultant dropped the bomb. 2 weeks later I was in for operation. They really didn't wait around.

All the positive thoughts and hopes were dashed in a single conversation but it was comforting that a plan was in place. I preferred and appreciated that news was delivered face to face.

I hope it is good news for you but if you feel like talking we are always here x
