No one should give any kind of diagnosis before results are received. I am so sorry this has happened to you. Walking with the dogs is a good thing to do, and keep looking on here because there is always someone here to say "we give support to you".

Thanks Mary, but to be honest since its a "one stop" clinic if there is nothing to worry about you walk out on the day with your results so if you end up having a biopsy you know there is concern.  I was a bit surprised by the fact they have a scale of how likely it is they think it is a cancer.  One day at a time, I guess.

Sorry you find yourself here. One day at a time is a good approach I think.

I think the scale thing is normal, but maybe seldom verbalised unless requested. Certainly the clinic here gave me a point on each of three scales of 1-5 for palpable, mammogram and ultrasound. Regrettably I was a 5,4,5.

Sending best wishes x

Mine was not palpable, no sure if it showed up on the mammogram and definitely showed on the ultrasound. I broke my ribs about 8 weeks ago, looked at the NHS site which said nothing could be done and if you didn't have serious breathing, vomiting or blood issues then there was nothing that could be done and to take pain killers.  After a couple of weeks I was constantly feeling nauseous so went to the local nurse led minor injuries clinic, she wasn't that happy with my lung expansion (hurt to take deep breaths) so asked me to go to A&E for a chest xray.  I don't quite know why the doctor at A&E wasn't happy with the xray but he ordered a full chest and abdomen CT scan. The radiologist highlighted a possible fibroadenoma (seems he was wrong about what it was) and advised getting it checked out.  If I hadn't gone to A&E I wouldn't be any the wiser currently.  Don't think my mammogram screening is due for another 6 months.  

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
