Hello 👋🏻 I have my appointment in the breast clinic on Thursday as you can imagine I’m up in a heap as I have a very large lump roughly 5cm so I’m imagining if it is cancer it’s going to be later stage? Could you tell me please how long I’ll be waiting for results? I honestly don’t know how much more of a wait I can take I’ve downplayed it to my husband as he’s a major worrier and obviously I haven’t told my teenage children yet. Thanks in advance xxx

Hi, I got my biopsy results a week later. I find the waiting is the hardest, so try to keep busy. Once you have your results its easier to plan. And fingers crossed it won't be cancer.

I got my results 10 days later. The waiting is very tough but as pp says all you can do is try to keep busy and try to keep positive. It's not easy but you can do this. Best of luck for the results.

Hi, I have just seen your post and as the other posters said the waiting is very hard. I hope everything is clear for you - but get all the support you can and take one step at a time. Best of luck with your results x
