I would take a list of symptoms as we forget as soon as we see someone, you can take someone with you l went to the breast clinic last month, there were relatives with patients. The friend will be able to see the surgeon with you, but may have to wait outside before the appointment.
I hope your appointment goes well. The waiting is not easy it's hard not to worry . I have had lots of breast surgery and visits to breast clinics each one fortunately milk ducts infected and not cancerous. I have an open appointment and have been told to come back if l have problems. 
take care

Thanks but covid is bad in our local hospital where the clinic is so I won't be able to take anyone, it says on the letter to come alone. My husband going to sit out in the car.
Even though the letter says it could be a 2-4 hour appointment, I've gone from having symptoms, to them getting worse, to me now questioning them and if I made them up in my head.

My neck/left shoulder is in agony which feels like muscle pain, I think I've been tensing without meaning to since I've been waiting. 

I've gone from being 1000% sure it's cancer and it's spread to now thinking I'm crazy and it's all in my head. Can't wait to get the appointment over with so I can just relax.

Hi Zoe,

I've just had my appointment at hospital Wednesday after my 2WW. I found a lump, saw the GP and was referred. Since then I've played it down to my husband despite my worry. I have since then noticed a large indentation where the lump is. The shape of my breast has visibly changed. 
 

At my app Wednesday my husband dropped me off, I made up some story about him not being allowed in. In my head I'm telling myself, I don't need to really speak about it with him until I have something wrong with me. Silly I know at the age of 41, but we all process our feelings differently. 
 

At my appointment they were amazing!! I had a mammogram, mri, ultrasound, numerous biopsies on two different sites of my breast and under arm due to the lump and they noticed raised lymph nodes. They put clip markers in and I then had another mammogram. I couldn't fault them or the service. It was first class.

When I got out, I felt shaken and sat in the cafe. Overcome with emotion and acceptance to what I had just been through I rung my mum just to hear her voice. I didn't tell her anything but right in that moment it hit me.

Needless to say, my husband is coming with me on Wednesday as it is all too much for one person. My mind like yours is in overdrive, I have played out ever scenario in my head. I hope all works out for you, please keep us updated on how you're doing. You aren't alone. X
