Test results tomorrow

beatchkitty · January 2016

hey everyone

Being tested for ibc. A bruise popped up a month ago followed by breast pain, swollen lymph nodes sometimes, redness and swelling. I am 22 weeks pregnant but this IS NOT MASTITIS ( 1st thing they ruled out).

Ultrasound was clear but very dense breasts, punch biopsy done on marked area. Extreme pain in Arm attached to breast from swollen lymph nodes last night - ER dr gave penicillin and norco incase of biopsy infection.

My question is... is it a good or bad thing they haven't called with results yet? I've had this appointment since the biopsy last week and I'm going in circles here , especially sincemy lymph nodes are going crazy.

That they haven't called yet? It's neither good nor bad. Don't try to read anything into whether they've called or not.

But, if they didn't tell you when (and how!) you would get your results, call the doc's office that ordered the biopsy and ask. (And keep asking until somebody can give you a concrete result--about when you'll get results, from whom and by when you should receive them.)

It could be one of those things where they thought the facility doing the biopsy would notify you of the results...and the facility thought the doc would. But there's no reason to worry all weekend.

Best wishes!

What does the pathology report on your punch biopsy that you were to get today say?
