Hi, 

tjought I would give you my account from my visit a couple of weeks ago.

I can't fault the lady's one bit!

my appointment was at 9 and I walked in and was seen straight away. First a examination from the consultant and students (the students also did a little fact finding work sheet with me the usual do you have symptoms and what meds are you on etc) 

then I waited a little and got sent for a ultrasound. They had previously given me a gown to wear so the boobs are easily get able. 
 

because of my age the ultrasound was first option. 
 

after the ultrasound they then gave me a mammogram, which I waited around for (not too long about 20 mins) 

THAT was painful I'll be honest. But it's barable and worth it so just dig deep for bravery it's just pain for a few seconds and then over with.

they told me there and then they didn't find anything so needed to refer me for breast  mri which need to be done at the right time if your cycle lucky for me this was next day!!! 
 

all in all I was at clinic from 9-1 and everyone was so kind. 
 

i hope this helps.

good luck!

Hi,

Thank you so much for this, it's really so helpful. 
 

I feel a bit better now I know what to expect, it's always the not knowing that sends your mind into overdrive!

Im really hoping it's nothing to worry about but I'm just so glad I checked myself and found the lump early.

Thanks again

Tell me about it! I can't stand the not knowing and the waiting it's absolute agony!! I've been waiting for results for over a week now and it's getting painful. Can't wait to here back and I really do hope your appointment goes okay. Wear some nice joggers or something comforting and before you know it it will be home time and you can get a cuppa. 
All the best x
