I had a mammogram 10 days ago and have now received an appointment at a breast referral clinic for next week. To say I'm stressed and worried is an understatement. I have just joined this forum and have read a few posts which have been helpful.
I'm sorry to hear that you've been recalled after a recent mammogram. It's not uncommon for this to happen but we know that it can leave women feeling very anxious and concerned whilst waiting for the next appointment.
You may want to have a look at this article on the Breast Cancer NOW website which will hopefully give you some reassurance. I'd also suggest giving our team of nurses a call to talk things through with them. I'm sure they will be able to offer some advice and support ahead of your clinic appointment. They're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040.
I hope that the team is able to offer some reassurance when you see them later this week. It might help to try and keep in mind that the majority of women seen at breast clinic aren't diagnosed with cancer. Keep in touch and let us know how you get on.
I'm in the same boat and have literally just posted the same. My results are on Thursday and today I'm a mess! I've been quite strong and matter of fact but today it's hit me what if it's bad news. I've been in 4 times now and Thursday is the review and results. My appointment dor the review was sent before my biopsies were taken which made me think they think it's bad news.
Waiting is the worse thing.
Sending you positive vibes and keeping everything crossed for you xx
Hi ladies, feeling the same as you both. :cry: I have a mammogram booked this Thursday (plus ultrasound & biopsies if required at the time, so I'll be there a few hours) but have already had my follow up 'results' appointment booked even though I've had nothing checked yet, apart from my GP confirming I have a lump). Sending love to you both x
Sending love back to you too! It's such a worry isn't it and although the worst thing is to Google I just can't help it.
It really threw me off when an appointment came through before I had even had the biopsy! It's not really expected for the NHS to preempt I didn't think not while things are do manic with Covid etc.
I just want Thursday to hurry up, I've had non stop pulpitations today and I know I'm not coping on the inside although everyone is saying I'm so calm inside I'm falling apart thinking about all the what ifs!
Will be thinking of you Thursday as I'll be at the BC clinic too.
Terribly worrying, I haven't told anyone, apart from my partner, he's worse than me right now. I get palpitations anyway thanks to peri menopause, but getting more as my stress levels are rocketing. Aw, what time is your appointment Thursday? Yeah weird that the results appointment came with my mammogram appointment but I suppose they are being thorough in booking it in. Please let me know how you get on. Sending huge cwtches (Welsh hugs) for you xx
Ah yes I'm pretty much peri too! The sweats are well and truly here! My appointment is 1.30pm I'll be a mess night before. My partner is so worried too bless him, he's Welsh so we are half and half in Bristol and Abergavenny so cwtches are always well received!
Ah the joy of meno sweats! HRT has been my saviour! Aw lush, so you totally know what a proper cwtch is!
my appt is 3:30pm, so you'll be in before me. Wishing you all the best and will be thinking of you! I'll just be sat here winding myself up all afternoon xx
Thank you for your reply, you are right waiting is the worst thing. I am 60% ok and feeling positive but the other 40% I am a total mess and thinking the worst. hope Thursday is good news for us all.
Just got back from my appointment at breast assessment clinic. I've had biopsies, ultrasound and mammogram.The doctor said that we needed to wait for results to confirm her suspicions but she thinks it is cancer. It is only small lump but it has shown up as different from last mammogram hence the recall.I seem to be incredibly calm at the minute ( which is not like me at all) so I'm waiting for the emotion to hit anytime soon.
I am hoping for good news on the biopsy results but think I need to prepare for the worst.
