    I'm 41 and found lump in right breast went to obgyn he sent me two days later to breast center for mammogram. Did the mammogram then radiologist wanted an ultrasound. During this time I'm hoping for your good no problems. Well Instead I got biopsy two days later that was on July 7th they said I would get the results 2-3 days. I finally called them on July 13 and the nurse calls at 5:00pm to tell me the dr is out of the office until July 18th and she can't go over the results and he can see me at 9:00 on 18th. I'm terrified. The feeling I got from the radiologist and his nurses were not good and they did not give me any info. I feel like in going crazy if not for my husband I think I would have gone mad by now. I received a letter from radiologist stating your mammogram shows potential breast problems and we have sent results to your dr please get in touch with him asap! Has anyone else had to wait this long for a negative or positive result? I have a very bad feeling!!

    Well, that sucks. With it being Fri afternoon you're probably not going to hear anything else. Hopefully, this will turn out to be nothing serious and you can get on with your life. Your age is in your favor.

    Yup..but its Canada...lol.

    The Breast Clinic is booked solid, unless I pay to go private (but dont have confidence there...ratger trusy the Breast Specialists). Im actuslly feeling ok. It is what it is. When I do go, I will be meeting with Breast Surgeon after all testing...one stop shop. Its a plus when I look at it that way.

    I totally understand your frustration!!!! I am going through the same feelings at this moment. I'm 34 years old went for my yearly OB checkup and she felt a lump on my right breast. She said that it was moveable and didn't think it would be anything "bad". I was sent for my mammogram and ultrasound last Friday. The radiologist came in to talk with me after the test and said there was a mass found and I needed to get a biopsy. I literally just started crying!!!!!! Totally unexpected. I went for my biopsy on Thursday and the surgeon said it was a 2.5 cm mass in my right breast. He said he didn't like how the ultrasound showed shadowing. I'm waiting on my results. These last few days have been absolute torcher!!!!!!!! I am so scared that the results are going to show the worst!!!! I have 2 little girls and they keep my mind busy but all I have been doing is crying!! Any help would be appreciated

    Prayers to all of us for health and comfort! I went months waiting for various things with a "wait and see" surgeon. It was torture. I broke down in front of my little girl more than I care to admit. I prayed a ton. One silly thing that I told myself which may sound ridiculous but sort of helped me was that I wasn't really in any greater danger than I was every time I hopped on the freeway. (I live in Los Angeles.) I go back to the surgeon in the morning and am asking for bilateral mastectomy. I've got big plans with my sweet little munchkin and tatas aren't required. Good luck to us!

    pencilskirt. Good point, and one that was made so clear to me this week. Last weekend my girlfriends daughter (23 yrs old) and her two young children were in a seriois car accident. Mom is still in a Coma with a brain injury..prognosis unknown. I said to my husband 'How can I be worried about something that may happen, when she and her family are going tnrough something that IS happening?' I thought to myself, there is no sense worrying whether I have cancer or not...but to embrace each day regardless.
