Hi, I'm new to this forum and not sure if I'm looking for answers or just somewhere to put down my feelings.

Around 3 weeks ago I found a lump in my left breast so my GP made an urgent appointment at the One Stop Breast Clinic. This was for Monday last week. The doctor did an examination - feeling and a mini ultrasound (?) and said he couldn't see any cancer and then something about fibrocystic and fatty tissue. I then had a mammogram, ultrasound and a biopsy on the lump. Today I received a letter from him outlining the results of the mammogram and the ultrasound. I know googling is the worst thing to do, but I did and it seems that these results show that it is cancer - the lump (U5) and an impression of architectural distortion (M5/T5). He then said that he'll review me at the breast clinic after discussing my case with the Breast Multi-disciplinary Team.

I think I'm reeling from the fact that I've been sent my results like this without any explanation; I assumed that they would call me back and explain everything to me then.

I suppose I'm just wondering whether anyone else has been given 'bad' results in this way.
