I had my recall letter last Tuesday 10 days after my routine mammogram my second one. Never been recalled before absolutely terrified is an understatement. Had previous non cancerous lump removed in 2014 just after full hysterectomy. Been on HRT since middle of 2015. Risks are high due to mom and her sister having breast cancer thrn we lost mom to pancreatic cancer, my aunty now has terminal bone cancer and their brother has lung cancer. We now also have a breast cancer case in a maternal cousin. It's been the longest week ever but my appointment is tomorrow, they've advised me to take my hubby. Contacted hospital wouldn't tell me anything other than to bring him and my appointment will be 3-4 hours long. So I'm feeling your pain and wish you all the luck in the world xx

Hi Joneil,

A Very warm welcome to our forum.

Having had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the past 12 years & also having a family history of breast cancer, I know just how you feel. I hope that all goes well for you tomorrow. Please let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Thank you, my appointment is 9.15 so atleast I haven't got to wait all day, but will fill you all in on how things go x

Good luck will be thinking of you as same time as my appointment let's keep our spirits up and hope it's more positive then negative x x x

Good luck to you let us know how it goes x

Will do at the moment swinging from I will be absolutely fine and just a poor scan to I only have cancer awful can't wait for tomorrow to come at least we know which direction we will be heading in x x

I really hope so, I've got a bad feeling about mine in all honesty just hoping I'm wrong. Just be glad to find out what's been found at the moment it's the fear of the unknown. Hoping to get some kind of answer tomorrow for both of us x

Yup it is I think I am swaying more towards bad news for me. But then my inner voice says don't jump the gun it may not be. Husband coming with me hopefully he will be allowed in! But have checked I have voice recording on phone as last time as soon as they said cancer head went into shut down Mode so want to record it this time so I can listen when calmer

Yeah they said my hubby could come so atleast that's another set of ears. We're you told straight away last time?

Last time it was cervical cancer and was recalled after biopsy but I have read what I can as I understand we should find out yeah or no tomorrow however what stage ??? As have to wait for biopsy results if they do them 

Yeah think there's only the biopsy results that we will have to wait for. I'm sure they see it daily whether there's something suspicious or not on mammogram or ultrasound so should get some idea x

I hope so in one way but in another hoping it doesn't throw up more unanswered questions. Suppose we just have to remain positive x 

Oh I hope not as I'm sure you do, you know I hadn't even thought of that so much going through my head as I'm sure your the same don't know how I've functioned this last week in all honesty don't know about you. Can I ask how old you are please? I'm 52 x

Hi Jasam & Joneil,

 I may be wrong, but it sounds as if both of you are just returning for the results of your mammograms tomorrow. Are you both aware that you may need to have a biopsy to determine if anything is cancerous? If you do need these, it can take another 7-14 days to get the results of these back. 

I don't say this to upset either of you - just to warn you that you may still have to wait a little longer for a definite diagnosis.

Keeping my fingers crossed for both of you!

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

It's further tests for me tomorrow but to be honest, just be glad to find out what they've found in all honesty, and maybe they might be able to shed some light on it. Family history not helping my nerves either but thank you anyway x

61 had cervical cancer at 36! So have been lucky to get this far hope the luck hasn't run out x x x I am from kent 

Yes but from what I have read can be given an idea yay or no. And then biopsies so I know I may have longer to wait but may be a step further forward to an answer than I am today x 

I'm sure it hasn't . I'd love to be able to wave a magic wand and say everything will be fine but maybe tomorrow we'll have an idea x
