Anyone know anything about breast biopsies?

I have name-changed for this as it is quite outing.

Found a lump in left breast. GP referred me to consultant. He thought it was calcification - had mammogram and ultrasound, during which they found lump in right breast. Did a core needle biopsy on the spot. Called a week later to say that was fine but after reviewing they thought they needed to biopsy the left breast as well. Had that ten days ago - a different type of biopsy (not sure of name) and 22 samples taken.

Today I got a call booking me in for an appointment with the consultant on Friday. The lady was in admin and said she couldn't give me any results. I just wondered if, given the current Covid situation, consultants are delivering good news face to face, or if it's only bad news that gets an appointment? I was called to say the last biopsy was ok, so why not a call for this one if it is good news?

I am going a bit crazy worrying and would appreciate any advice anyone can give.

Try not too worry, easier said than done, my results both good and bad have been delivered face to face. Hope the news is good x

Thanks @Fluffysunshinepants. Feel a bit better about it all now it's morning. Just wish they would tell you over the phone first - the uncertainty is horrendous.
