Breast cancer

Hi I’m new to this whole thing 

I have a referral for the breast clinic in Liverpool I’ve only just turned 22 but the doctors were quite worried as I have a lot of symptoms for breast cancer and some of my bloods come back abit dodgy.  Anyone who’s been to the breast clinic what happens there, how long r you in there, how till u know if it is, what sort of tests do they do 

sorry I’m a massive over thinker and worrying

  • Really depends on the individual.

    They will do another mammogram, you’ll wait whilst the specialist compares that again the original mammogram. If it is suspicious they will do an ultrasound and biopsy. These procedures don’t take long, it’s possibly the little wait in between that adds up. Once you’re complete you will be taken to a room with a nurse who will sit with you as long as you need, until you’re ready to leave. My appt was 8.45am, following all of above I left around 11.40/45 am. 

    I did look at people come and go, so if everything is ok with mammogram you’ll be out with 15/20 mins. 


    I skipped in thinking I’d skip back out and head to work, in hindsight I would have felt better if my husband or a friend was with me. Maybe take day off work/studies so that you’re not putting any pressure on yourself. 

    Good luck, try and not think too much now. Xx
