Appointment booked after lump found in breast. Didn't realise it could take up to 2 hours. Feeling scared.

Hi, I found a lump last weekend and I have been given an appointment for a mammogram, when I read up what would happen at the appointment I didn’t realise it could be up to 2 hours long with a mammogram and possible diagnostic tests all done at the same time. I am terrified. My sister in law is coming with me. Just feel scared.

    I found a lump and also had to go for a check up. Its to get everything done in the one appointment rather than having to wait on results & then be called back. I was naive & went alone. I unfortunately have been diagnosed with Breast cancer, but sitting in the appt, i saw a lot of people leave earlier. You may not need all the different steps if they do the mammogram & ultrasound and find it isn't anything of concern. Try to go in & be positive (easier said than done). All the staff at these appointments are lovely & there to help. Good luck xxx
