Anyone else waiting for breast biopsy results after a mammogram recall?

[MidLifeWoman]

Yet another “waiting for biopsy results” thread…
I was recalled after a mammogram. They saw 2 suspicious areas both in the mammogram and in the ultrasound, then took biopsies from the 2 sites.
I have been relatively calm, but I will get the results tomorrow and my mind is whirring.
Anybody else currently in the same boat?

Me. I was recalled yesterday. Had an ultrasound and biopsy and a marker clip inserted. Results not until next Wednesday though so have another week to get through.

Hi, I had my first mammogram in March. I had a letter within a week asking me to go to the breast clinic at the hospital for an ultrasound and another mammogram - not unusual for a first timer. They were not happy with my mammogram results so wanted to do a core needle biopsy while using the ultrasound. They did this with local anesthetic, which was fine. They also placed a titanium marker for future reference incase I would need further investigation. I received a phone within 2 weeks of that appt and was told the results were inconclusive and that I would need to go back for a vacuum assisted biopsy while having a mammogram, which I did yesterday. This was because they needed more tissue to examine. I have been told it could take between 3 and 6 weeks for results. The waiting part is the most difficult part. These people do an incredible job and the technology now is amazing. I have found the best way to take my mind off it all is to keep busy and stay as positive as is possible, I know this is not easy. Talk about it too, sharing your worries with a loved one or a good friend really does help.

So sorry that you are also waiting, @Followthattaxi and @McGeeeee !

My recall was last Monday and I have been ok so far, kept myself busy and managed not to google. It’s getting harder to distract myself now, though.

Fuck it, it’s cancer. Appointment with a surgeon next week.

@MidLifeWomansorry to hear your bad news.
This was me last August from a routine mammogram. I’m now 7 months on from surgery, 5 months from radiotherapy and 5 months into a 5 year sentence of Letrozole (coping ok so far). I didn’t need chemo.
Don’t do Google, stick to MacMillan or Breastcancernow websites and join their forums for support. There’s also plenty of lovely knowledgeable women on MN cancer threads too.

Oh that's shit, I am sorry to hear that. Macmillan can be a good support and I agree with pp preferable to Google. https://www.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-information-and-support/get-help/macmillan-support-line

Do you have support around you in person?

I seem to have a village that has already rallied around. I am quite lucky.

I am glad to hear that.
