Mammogram recall breast care clinic

Hi 

I am new here I went for my first mammogram  due to turning 50 aprox two weeks ago then I got a letter for a recall to a breast care clinic , I went today they showed me my previous  mammogram  which they said it shows something it looked like a white mark they said it was 1.5 cm and then I had a breast examination then a ultrasound . And they did a biopsy I asked do they think it’s anything sinister then .all they said is  they just do not know that’s why having biopsy to find out I have got to wait 3 weeks for results which takes me all through Christmas worrying , I did not find a lump or have any symptoms so it as come as a big shock , I am 50 And have gone through menopause . They were all lovely and I had a breastcare nurse who did say if it’s is cancer they need find out which one and what treatment , I asked her if they think it’s cancer then she just said do not know , driving myself mad overthinking what they were like at the appointment were they so nice because they think it is etc…. And I am doing the big No No googling !  It’s hard to switch of and just wait and see x

  • Hi Shelly50 yes you are right it is hard to switch off and google was the first thing I did too.  It is a big no no as information is out of date.  Best place is here or Macmillan.  When I had my biopsy they wouldn't tell me either I just had to wait and see.  Being in the waiting room is the hardest place to be and can cause a lot of stress and sleepless nights.  I am sure Christmas will keep you busy and hopefully not too much time to think about it.  When you go for your results it is best if you take someone with you.  My husband remembered a lot more of what was said than I did.  Sending you hugs and please let me know how you get on.
