What to expect from breast clinic appointment

Good morning, 

Hope everyone is well.

I've recently found a lump In my right breast and after a visit to the doctor they have reffered me to the Breat clinic urgently under the two week wait.

I have my appointment next Thursday 7th July.

I wondered if anyone could give me an idea of what to expect at the appointment? I'm feeling so anxious about it so I thought I would reach out.

 

Thank you in advance for any replies :happy:

  • hi Gemma I went over a year ago and my lump was a cyst that they drained I did have a tumour but lumps can also be cysts, you have a mammogram which I don't think hurt then maybe a 3d mammogram to look more closely.  I then was told to wait and had an ultrasound which is painless like a baby scan and a biopsy.  I had to wait thrn for the biopsy results and have a mri scan a few weeks later. I was there nearly 2 hours but the staff are usually lovely and explain things.

    I am now cancer free and fully recovered after surgery and radiotherapy. 

     

    I hope this helps, don't worry they are very nice staff and caring. 

     

    message me if you need any further advice. 

    All the best

  • Hi Ria, 

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

    I've been so worried about going so just having an idea of what might happen is such a help.

    I'm really pleased to hear that you are all clear now, that's amazing!
     

    thank you again

    your welcome I didn't find the mammogram too bad at all but do have bigger boobs, they could tell straight away I had a tumour but had a cyst which is none cancerous and normal so yours could  be that try not to worry but consultant and ladies very helpful. they didn't even have to take my breast off went through my nipple so still have a not bad set of boobs lol.

     

    if you need any other help let me know but they know what there doing I am fully recovered I hope its negative and you will be OK. 

     

    all the best.
