I’m in a similar position, but I have my appointment at the hospital on Thursday. I’m terrified, and would really like some idea of what to expect. I know I’m likely to have a mammogram and biopsy, but have no idea about time scale for results etc. 

I hope it all goes ok tomorrow.  Let me know how you get on.  

Thank you- I will. The lady that called to arrange the appointment said it was possible that they would just examine me and then make another appointment for the investigations. I really hope that isn’t the case- it’s the waiting that’s the worst thing x

Well, as I feared, I was examined, the doctor felt a lump (which I hadn’t been able to feel), and then there weren’t any mammogram or ultrasound appointments available. I’ve just had a call and I’m having them  on Monday. In some ways I’m happy that it’s so soon- in other ways I’m worrying that they have rushed me through because it’s considered particularly urgent.

Gonna girl 

good luck hope all turns out good news love Lara xx

Oh gosh no way , well least you don’t have to wait too long , it will probly feel forever but hopefully goes fast. 

Thank you xx

That’s true- the waiting is horrible, isn’t it? One positive today is that my husband now seems to realise it could be something serious. Until now it’s been as though he was convinced it was nothing, so I didn’t really feel supported. That has now changed x

HI GoonerGirl,

I am sorry top hear that they didn't have any appointments for mammogram or ultrasound today. Please don't overthink getting your appointment through so quickly. This is actually slower than the majority, which are usually carried out at your first visit.

I hope that all goes well for you on Monday.

Kind regards,

Thank you. I feel as though I’ve been through so many emotions over the past few days, but this evening I’m feeling calm, so that’s good. I just want to get the tests done and know the outcome, so then I can start to get to grips with what will happen x

I know It’s so hard but can do this. How did you get on today ??? Xx

Hi, 

All went ok. I had a mammogram, then ultrasound and biopsy in 2 places on the same breast, and they put markers in before sending me back for a check mammogram. The nurses/ doctors that saw me were all really lovely, and in particular the lady that did the ultrasound went to great lengths to make sure I understood what was going on etc. She looked at my armpit and said that my lymph nodes looked normal, and commented that was a positive. Interestingly, both the nurse that did the mammogram and the ultrasound doctor commented that they were surprised I noticed the tethering, because of where on the breast it is.

Anyway, I’m a bit sore and bruised tonight but feel a lot better mentally. I don’t know how I’ll feel tomorrow, but it’s nice to be able to switch off the thoughts a little bit. I hope you feel a bit more positive after your appointment too xx

Oh I’m so glad it went well. Hopefully it’s good news then and everything is ok. Finger crossed for you. Xx
