  • Hello Mandy-k

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently had some concerns about your breast health which has resulted in you being referred to the breast clinic. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about what's going on for you. 

    Typically breast pain isn't associated with cancer and even though you've had cancer before, try to keep in mind that the majority of women seen in the breast clinic aren't diagnosed with cancer. Hopefully, you won't have to wait too long for your appointment and the team will be able to give you some reassurance. 

    In the meantime, if you'd like to chat things through with one of our team of nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. 

    Keep in touch Many and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
