Hi Ladygoffy,

Many thanks for your update.

After all the worry you've had, I am delighted to hear that all turned out well for you today. It is also great to hear that you don't need any further treatment.

It is so nice to get some good news on this site and, I am really chuffed that you've had no re-growt - you must feel a great relief..

Kind regards,

Hi Terry,

Did you manage to find out why you've been recalled?

Kind regards,

Yes. I have had 14 yrs of yearly mammograms all negative. Two weeks ago I was recalled. Radiologist near enough told me I have early stages of breast cancer. I know exactly to every second how you must be feeling. I go in tomorrow to get my results. My head is spinning. My legs are walking but I don't know how. My mind is constantly in overdrive. I'm there with you. Every second we are probably feeling the same feelings. X

Hi

They didn't have my notes to hand so just explained the triple tests and the sort of thing they were looking for. Don't feel any better and it's my birthday today so feel like crying!! 

HI Terry,

Here's wishing you A Very Happy Birthday. I hope that you will still manage a celebration, despite the fact that your husband is away. I am sorry to hear that you didn't find  your call much help. It is hard to believe that they didn't have your notes to hand, when everything is computerised now.

It wouldn't do any harm to phone again and, if they don't have your notes to hand, you could always ask them to find them and to then let you know.

Let us know what you decide to do, but I hope that you get a more satisfactory answer.

Kind regards,

Hi

I'm going to wait until Monday now, I've got a busy weekend & that will distract me hopefully. Will let you know what happens on Monday :confused:

Hi Terry,

No poblem. Enjoy your weekend. I look forward to hearing how you get on on Monday.

Kind regards,

Just got back from having celebratory tea and cake with my friend who took me this morning to the recall appointment. When I first went in even before I was in the room the nurse said they had seen a white spot on my left breast which they wanted to have a closer look at. I felt sick and wanted to cry but before long they explained they wanted to take a 2nd more in-depth mammogram which would take slices of images for a better look. After this I had to wait to see the senior radiologist who would discuss what happened next. A very long 15 minutes later I went in and she said they'd seen something spicky on the 1st mammogram but on the 2nd it wasn't there so she decided it was part of how my breast is made up. However to be sure they would do an ultrasound. At this point I wanted to jump up and down with relief and I told her this. They were lovely and then she did a quick physical check with me raising my arms up in the air and also putting them on my hips. Then she did the ultrasound which she kept saying she was happy with as she went along. Afterwards she explained about the make of the breast tissue and I could see there wasn't anything now. So she said she would review it with her colleague as they do with all cases and felt that it was fine. I would be recalled as normal in 3 years. I can't tell you how relieved I am, when I looked at the white spot it was tiny but that's what they're there for and I would'nt have felt it. The clinic was really busy with recalls. All I can say is this has been an event where I thank God for the NHS and how fast they react. It was a long 10 day wait between receiving the letter and going but now I feel I can move on with things. Thank you for listening to me rant and I wish those who have yet to go back or have more investigation to come all the best as it is a fear that you can control sometimes but other times it engulfs you. I am eternally grateful for my good luck. 

HI Terry,

Thank you for the update. I am delighted to hear that all appears to be normal, after all the worry you've had. I am glad that they seemed to have explained things to you as they went along and, I hope that you now feel reassured and relieved that there is nothing to worry about.

The scary thing about cancer is that most of us don't notice or feel any changes when we are diagnosed. This is why routine mmmograms are so important, as the sooner any changes are spotted, the better our outcomes tend to be.

It is so good to hear of a good outcome for a change and, I sincerely hope that your 'good luck' stays with you forever.

Kind regards,
