Breast Clinic Process

I was referred to the breast clinic due to ongoing pain and had my appointment last Friday where an ultrasound revealed what the radiologist called three innocent looking lumps, one in the left and two in the right side. He expected follow-up in a few months. I saw the consultant surgeon after who said the results of the ultrasound would go to the breast meeting and they may wish to biopsy both sides but he wouldn’t worry about it at all, he thinks Fibroadenoma I’ve probably had for a long time. Today I received a letter for follow up at the breast clinic in three weeks time but nothing about a biopsy. Now I’m confused as to whether I’ll get an appointment for biopsies in the interim, whether they’ll do the biopsies at the appointment in 3 weeks or whether there now won’t be any biopsies. I’m scared to be honest, has anyone had this in the process before?

  • If they are going to a biopsy they will probably do it at the breast clinic, that is where I had mine done.  You can always phone them to find out exactly what the appointment is for.  Probably your best course of action is to phone the breast nurse number, its usually an answerphone, so leave a message and they will call you back.  You will need to leave your hospital number which you should find on your letter.  If you don't have the breast nurse number you can look it up on the internet.
