Breast referral

Hi,

I went for a lung ct scan, which they discovered a nodule on my breast I am going to the clinic tomorrow to get things checked. Is this likely to be something of worry due to it being discovered by the hospital and they have still made the referral ?? Thank you 

  • Hello there

    I am sorry to hear you are undergoing some tests and appreciate this news of a breast nodule must be a worry.

    There can be many reasons for breast lumps (sometimes called nodules) and most will be benign ( not cancer) but often they will want to carry out more tests on anything unusual to find out more and to be sure nothing sinister is going on.

    I am sure at the appointment today they will talk through what needs to happen next. If they need to biopsy the nodule you may need to wait a couple of weeks for the results to come back but a biopsy is usually able to confirm what is going on.

    You can read more about the tests at a breast clinic here.

    I hope all goes well for you today and please get back in touch if needed.

    Take care

    Naomi
