Hi everyone,
I had a routine mammogram and was called back after 2 weeks! Those 2 weeks were of.course very anxious. 
I attended my appointment, had further X-rays, ultra sound scans and examinations.
The consultant explained.she was happy with the results and.i left relieved. 
I have since had a further call to go back for more.scans and possible biopsy. 
I feel like I am on a roller coaster right now. Is this normal to see a further Consultant? 
I know this is probably just precautionary buy it's just a little unnerving 
Thanks.in advance for any advice you can give me 
Hugs to all

    I was called back after a routine mammogram for further tests. And after a biopsy and being told it was fine I got a call a few days later to say that I needed another biopsy. After relaxing and thinking everything was OK I was back to being a nervous wreck. So I had that 2nd biopsy (a vacuum one) last week and tomorrow I'm back for results. From what I understand is that a team of people meet once a week and discuss each patient and at that meeting they decided that the 1st biopsy wasn't good enough and wanted another one done. It sounds like it's the same with your case. If you need to ask any questions ring your breast clinical nurse as they will have all your info and tell you what's happening.  My GP has been great too so you can always ask them.

    I think they are being really thorough and want to be 100% sure it's all OK. I'm a complete mess though. 

    I am sending you lots of love and hope that all is OK with you x
