How long will it take to find out if you have breast cancer or not?

My mom is going in for a screening today to see if she has breast cancer or not cuz she found a lump the other day. How long will it take for the doctor's to notify her if she has it or not?

Answer:
Not sure what you mean by “screening.” Typically after a lump is found they do a diagnostic mammogram/sonogram. This can resolve many suspicious lumps. The radiologist would know pretty much right away. If these 2 tests do not resolve the question, then they advocate (typically) a biopsy. This can take a week or 2 to get scheduled. Then the pathology report can take 2 weeks if it has to be sent out to another lab.

So, try to be patient. Hopefully they’ll know this day, but sometimes it takes weeks to get an answer.

Answer:
It depends on how the hospital/facitlity is set up where your mother is going. I found out I had cancer the day that I had my mammogram. My hospital had a Breast Health center, and once they had mammogram pictures of my lump , there was someone immediately available for an ultrasound, and ultimately a biopsy. I’ll be praying that the lump is benign, remember most lumps are not cancerous!
