Breast clinic - what to expect?

Hi

 

ive got my apt letter through for next week after finding 2 lumps in my armpit. The referral letter said it would outline what tests I was having in the apt letter but it doesn't and no indication of time. 
 

my friend attended a clinic in the neighbouring trust and was there hours. She had 2 scans, had to wait for someone to review each scan and then had to speak to a consultant although hers was a cyst. 
 

I'm 30 so read I'd probably have an ultrasound? Rather than mammogram? My mum died of breast cancer as well, so unsure if that changes things
 

just need an idea of what to expect really or what is the norm? I was going to make the time back at work but thinking if it's going to be hours I should book it off

  • Hi,

    I noticed a lump a few years ago and after driving myself crazy with worry, turned out to be nothing... I am 32 years old. I was referred for the 2WW, received a letter to tell my 'your gp suspects you hVe breast cancer...'  with the date/time of the appointment and no further details of types of scans. PleSe do not worry, fingers crossed.
