Hi Skygirl, thank you for your post.

I am sorry to learn that you are having symptoms that are causing you concern.

If you have been referred to a breast clinic following a mammogram, it most probably means that an abnormality has been detected that may require further tests or treatment. Since your referral is routine, I do not think they believe it is likely to be cancer.

Breast Cancer Now has a website on benign breast conditions which you may find useful to read.

I really hope you know more soon and that everything will be okay for you.

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.

 Kind regards

Tina
