Hello Joyanne,

                       l understand fully what the radiologist was saying.There job is to scan ,annalyse the result and if suspect pass it along for a biopsy with the results of both going  to the consultant and his team to discuss the clinical issues and future treatment should the scan result be verified by the biopsy.

        Important to recognise the radiologist is part of the clinical team,and bring their experience into that setting. l believe this is now normal and gold practice since it results in a faster pathway to diagnosis and future treatment if required,rather than beating around the bush passing notes back and forth. lt would suggest that you should have confidence in your medical team who have obviously established an efficient system to progress matters as quickly as possible.

                                                                                                l hope this helps and that your results are not as bad as you may fear,

Thank you for a quick response I should have added they also put titanium clips in and was told this would be for a surgeon to see areas? When you say trust? Are you saying because he said he believed it was a 5ml cancer and the lump was hard he took biopsy from I should trust this is a cancer? As said if it is I can go forward but this waiting is terrible as I am unsure to think ie OK I have cancer just waiting for confirmation?. Also I was called back from first mammogram within 3 days and now waiting longer for pathology... I so appreciate your response
