Hi, my sister had breast screening and she got recalled and had a biopsy done and mammogram.
She was due to go back to the breast screening clinic and they called the night before to cancel as her results weren't back. They only give results on a wedsnesday, so they asked her to attend next Wednesday, she saud she couldnt because she has a very important appointment for my disabled son who she's caring for because I have advanced breast cancer and my oncology appointment is also that day. They saud week after which would make it two weeks but she says she can't wait that long cause I will probably be having treatment, she askedfir a phone appointment instead, they saud they epuid have a meeting in Tuesday like they always do and disscuss phone appointment,
Anyway the next thing she knows inher GP app is the radography consultants report with her findings which were very worrying and suspicious but on the day she saw her sayd she wasnt overly concerned but as it's her first msmmogram they biopsy everything, so it wasn't what she was led to believe.
This report went in the system before getting her biopsy results, so as you can imagine she's scared stiff, then someone rang her today to make the results appointment for this Friday instead and to go face to face .
She told them what had been said so they said leave it with me I will ring the testing centre and see if u can get your results sooner. Will get back to her.
They never got back to her but then received a patient portal appointment for the breast surgeon specialist ! For next Friday ...
Angry and scared isn't the word! It's now weekend and she can't get hold of them.
Why is she being referred to breast surgeon before getting her biopsy results ?
She saud she's just got to assume she's got breast cancer
