Breast Clinic yesterday

Hi,

I am 43 years old, history of breast lumps. I found a spot in the fold of my right breast about 2 months ago, thought it would go went to GP and referred me to Breast clinic. 

Went yesterday and saw the consultant who said it was a cyst but still sent me for Mammogram, it turned out it was a 2mm cyst however they sent me to ultrasound, which she scanned whole right breast and I thought something not right here, she said there was thickening and sent me back to mammogram for a more detailed scan, then back to ultasound for 2nd scan.  

I was worried at this point, they got someone else in to check it, they seemed ok with it, but it will go back to consultant for further review.  it couldn't be felt as it was in deep tissue, only visable on imaging.

Has anyone else been in this situation? obviosuly I am still really worried until I hear back from the consultant, I feel abit of fraud posting on here, but didn't know where else to go...

A nevrous woman here, brain in overdrive. 

  • Hello Shelly79

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently had some breast health concerns which led to a visit to the breast clinic. It's good to hear that your initial symptom wasn't anything to be concerned about but it's totally understandable that you're now feeling anxious about the additional areas that the team was looking at. 

    It sounds like they're being very thorough in checking out this area and hopefully once the Consultant has reviewed all the scans they'll be able to give you some answers and reassurance. 

    Waiting for results and appointments can be a difficult time for many people and I know that lots of our members have found it helpful to chat through their questions and concerns with someone. If you think it may help to chat then you're welcome to give our team of nurses a call. I'm sure they will be happy to offer any advice and support they can. If you'd like to talk with them they're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

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

    Best wishes,
