Repeat biopsy

Yootoo

hi, wondering if anyone can help my confusing I recently had a core biopsy had results within three days saying all is fine but we need to do another biopsy within two weeks? Has anyone ever had this?

Hi Yootoo,

I am going through the same thing at the moment. In my instance, I received benign results from biopsy of a very suspicious mass, which didn't provide an adequate explanation of what the radiologists are seeing on imaging. As I understand it, this is called "discordance." They have repeated the biopsy to ensure that the right area was sampled, and that a potential cancer wasn't missed by the core needle. Did you receive similar messaging from your medical team?

My biopsy was a week ago yesterday and I'm still waiting on results. I received results from the first biopsy in less than 2 business days, so I have literally been on the edge of my seat all week!

Best wishes to you xx

hi, thank you for your reply Unfortunately the only information I have been given is that all is fine it’s not a Fibroadenoma and that second biopsy is needed so I guess I just have to wait and see after second biopsy is dome
