The breast clinic are really good and helpful you will probably have a mammogram or ultrasound. They will explain it all to you although I found the mammogram uncomfortable it's soon over. The ultrasound is pain free just a probe with jelly on it like a baby scan. The doctors are there to explain all thats required

l hope you have an early appointment the waiting is nerve racking and no one likes waiting. Hopefully you will be on the fast track 2 week wait and seen shortly. Try to be busy with friends or family.

Hi thank you for your reply that's very kind of you! I can't help Google things and keep worrying! I'm sure I'll be well looked after ! It's the fear of the unknown I think! And I have kids and I'm only 38! Hope my letter comes very soon

You can ring the breast clinic for an update. They should be able to help you, at least you will know if the referral has reached them. The appointments are pretty quick. I know it's hard not to google l did when l had my ovarian cysts removed last October l can't say it was reassuring as it made me more aware of the cancer risk. It did give me an informed view when offered surgery, lm so pleased that they were removed and I now know they were benign.
I hope you have peace of mind soon the waiting time is the hard bit , do talk to everyone about it as it helps to get it into a place that you can cope with, it's hard talking to the family as they are also anxious about it. If anything like my husband prefere not to express his feelings to you but talks himself to others. The relief is that it's been found while small and is being treated scans have their uses in more than one area of the body my cysts were found during a colonoscopy.
