Breast screening appointment next week

Hi guys, 

Not sure what to say other than I'm 24 and found a large mass in my left breast a week ago, saw my gp who put me on the urgent waiting list for a scan. I'm told usually it's about a 2 week wait but I got my appointment letter within 3 days and the scan is in a week. I'm freaking out about how rushed they've got me in and fearing the worst. I have a scan on a week and another appointment in a month. Why do I have 2 appointments? 

Just wondering if all of this is normal as I'm in a flap

Thank you 

  • Hi S-leigh

    I wouldnt be alarmed at being seen quickly, when I found a lump last summer I was seen within 4 days and my lump was benign. I guess you have been given two appointments; 1st) scan and 2nd) results.

    I know its hard but try not to worry, it would be rare if yours turned out to be cancer.
