Waiting is so hard!!!

I hope you get some good news sooner than later! I too had a biopsy (BIRADS 4b) just this morning, and my thoughts are all over the place. Good Luck!!

Thinking of you both, and keeping our fingers crossed for benign results! Keep us all posted!

I too was Birads 4b--and had to wait 2 weeks between diagnostic mammo/ultrasound and core-needle biopsy. My biopsy results came by phone and my hospital's patient web portal within 36 hours of the procedure. But even that was 36 hours too long. As Tom Petty said, “the waiting is the hardest part." But you know what? You won't fall apart. You may feel socked in the gut, scared and confused, and nonfunctional for a day or two--and that is perfectly okay. You have my permission to respond to the first person who tells you “pull yourself together” by punching their lights out. But knowing either way is something of a relief--either spurring you into action or returning to the “old normal." I got my results in the evening, gathered my family later that night, talked to my gyne the next morning and immediately made an appointment with my breast surgeon. Then I bought both Elisa Port's and Susan Love's breast cancer books and started lurking here.
