Uncertain diagnosis

Hi Laura_Ann. I am so sorry to hear of the traumatic time you have had over the past few days. I can imagine that you must be very anxious about the situation you find yourself in at present. All of us on this forum have experienced the sick feeling that comes with an unexpected cancer diagnosis.  The delays that you are experiencing are VERY common. In fact it is entirely normal for the fna and core biopsy results to take 2-4 days and often much longer if it is an unusual tumour. Mine took at least that long, and this was in the private system in Sydney. The waiting is terrible and it’s hard not to imagine the worst in that time. Many women who are first diagnosed imagine that the cancer is spreading in the time that it takes for the results to come back and for our appointment with the surgeon to eventuate. This is not the case. For many women there is a long gap between diagnosis and treatment and this does not appear to impact on prognosis at all. The waiting is the hardest part. Jump back on the forum for support whenever you need it. We’re here for you. 
X Cecily.
