Waiting for results
Hi, I’m in limbo and I’m so stressed.
I’m 42, and I found a lump in February, went to GP the next day, he referred me to clinic, said it would take 2 weeks.
Nearly 2 weeks later I hadn’t heard anything so I phoned and they said I’d been downgraded to urgent (!)
Had my appointment on 8th April, they took multiple biopsies, made an appointment for me to go back in two weeks for results.
They phoned me the day before I was supposed to go to say the biopsy results don’t match what they can see on the mammogram, so I went back a week later for a vacuum assisted biopsy, which went on for over an hour and was quite upsetting.
They booked me to get the results tomorrow, and have just phoned to say the results aren’t back from pathology so I have to wait another week.
Not knowing is driving me mad, because if I have cancer I’d rather know.
It’s now been 5 weeks since my first biopsy.
Has anyone had to wait this long?
