Hello and thank you for your post

Going for tests and investigations can be a worry. But remember that the majority of women seen in the breast clinic will be told that they don't have cancer.

Because of your age you might not have a mammogram, this is because breast tissue is often more dense in younger than older (over the age of about 40)) women. Generally speaking a mammogram gives a better image in older women than younger. The doctor at the clinic will know if you need to have one. Whether you have one or not you will have an ultrasound of your breast. These scans will pick up any problems in your breast. You may then have a biopsy of a worrying area at the same time and may be told the results a few days later, so don't forget to ask how you will be told them and when.

Another charity called Breast Cancer Now has information about what to expect at your breast clinic appointment , you can see it on there website here 

The breast doctor is likely to ask you about your family history of cancer, so to help you remember you might find it helpful to have information written down about your mum and any other members of your family with cancer; what relation they are to you, the age they were diagnosed and what cancer they had.  This will help your breast doctor know if you should have a genetic test and/or screening.

Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Take care,
