Breast biopsy: The results are in

Hi @denise66
I'm not a Mayo patient, but I do use different portals for my various doctors and lab. Typically, the protocol is that pathology, lab and scan reports are sent to the ordering doctor first and they have to review and sign off for the report to be released to the patient. Even my reports that indicated completely normal results have been held up with this process so please don't assume it's because there is bad news.

I usually reach out to my doctors through the portal and ask them to release my reports hoping to speed up the review process. I like to read reports in advance so I can have my questions ready. I think my biopsy results in 2020 were give to me after 4 days, but I'm usually told the standard is up to 5 days.

I'm glad you're meeting with your doctor today, Friday. The waiting game is so very stressful and we have a tendency to start imagining the worst as time goes by. I hope you can get some sleep. Please let us know how it turns out. Praying for good news!

Blessings to you, Zebra

Zebra,

Thank you so very much for replying. I greatly appreciate it. Based on my ultrasound, the measurements are 2.0 cm x 1.2 cm x 1.3 cm.

I know breast cancer is staged based on size. What size do the use? Do they add up the measurements to determine the size? Or, do they go by the largest size. My would be 2.0 cm.

My I ask if your size on the ultrasound was consistent with your size noted by the pathologist?

Thanks you so very much for replying

Denise
