Core Biopsy waiting times
Hi, I was at the triple assessment unit in Beaumont on the 3rd Jan, had two mammograms done, and then an ultrasound. I have very dense breast tissue. The Radiologist said there was something not quite right looking on what was thought to be a cyst and wanted to do a FNA. No fluid came out so she did a core biopsy. I have been waiting for the phone to ring but got a letter dated 10th Jan yesterday to come to back to the clinic on 31st Jan. Is this a good sign that its taking so long to get the results? Is 4 weeks a very long time to have to wait for results is this normal? Thanks

Thank you for getting back to me. Not many people respond on this forum for some reason.
I just wanted to update this. I was in Beaumont on Friday and got the all clear, have a complex Fibroadema, so am very thankful. The wait for me was a positive one.
I was in Beaumont at the end of February and was given my diagnosis on 10th March - a lobular carcinoma. I can’t speak highly enough of the Beaumont Breast clinic, they did all tests on the one day.
Dear Cocopops007
Thank you for posting. It can be a very anxious time waiting for results, many women would feel the same way. Generally it takes two to three weeks for results to come back but it may take up to four weeks.
