Tests usually take couple of weeks. They need to know this info to plan your treatment. Some need surgery, chem, radiation, immune therapy, hormone blockers. All or may a couple treatment. You got this!

Hi. I found out in mid December. I met 3 specialists before I made my decision. I've had blood work and an MRI. Then I had an MRI guided biopsy for an area of suspicion in the "healthy" breast. Pathology came back with atypical ductal hyperplasia and that needs to be removed also. Next week new appointment to discuss a new plan. It is a slow process. Have you at least had an appointment with the breast surgeon to talk about intial diagnosis? When I met with the doctors and discussed initial diagnosis it made me less scared.
