    Wow! My breast surgeon is also head of surgery at one of Melbourne's largest hospitals and she could still make time to see me to discuss my results within a week! What a pity @hannahjane. Is there another doctor at the breast clinic at Northern Hospital other than Dr Hope that you could see?

    How is the recovery from your biopsy going?

    @hannahjane I'm sorry to hear that, extremely unusual 5 weeks? I can't imagine your GP would have those results. I must have missed something.

    She hasn't requested me to see anyone else, when we discussed me having the biopsy and getting the results she said she couldn't see me for another 5-7 weeks because she's busy and asked if I could wait for the results then and I said sorry no I don't feel comfortable waiting that long for them so I requested her to send the results to my gp and she just said that if it does come back to be anything " nasty" I have to go back and see her and she seemed happy with that so I'm not sure ..

    @hannahjane I have been a patient of the Northern Hospital Breast Clinic for 9 years, in Cooper Street Epping behind Epping Plaza, is that the hospital you have been attending????

    Sorry the breast surgeon I seen was " dr grace chew " at the northern hospital, for some reason I thought her name was " dr grace hope "

    Hello @hannahjane, I was thinking of you and wondering whether you have got any results back yet. Hope you are doing OK. The waiting is terrible. Sending a hug, Jane xx
