Waiting on biopsy results now for a week!!

How long does it take to get biopsy results back if it is a recurrence to the same breast? My Mom had her biopsy last Thursday 1/22 and we still don't know as of today 1/29. I have called the Breast Center and Pathology on Monday and yesterday (Tues) they were closed due to the weather. They still do not have any answers. My Mom is scheduled to see the Radiologist this afternoon. When she was diagnosed back in 2012 they had a final diagnosis the next day after her biopsy was done. Does it take longer to test what is believed to be scar tissue? The girl at the front desk at Pathology said they were doing additional staining, which is very routine, but there was no diagnosis in the system as of yet. I also spoke with one of my best friend's husband who is a Urologist and he said the longer pathology takes the less likely it is cancerous. I am beyond going crazy waiting for answers!! Has anyone else had this type of experience?


FYI...she is going to the same Breast Center as she did in 2012.
