I found a breast lump - mammogram and scan tomorrow. Scared

I've got my first appointment for a mammogram and a scan tomorrow I've had blood tests but I am scared will I get my results straight away I don't want to be in limbo 

  • Hi I hope you are well 

     

    earlier this year I also had a a referral to the breast clinic from my knowledge they most likely give you results straight away. Unless they find anything concerning they want to biopsy.

    i was terrified at the appointment but the staff were so kind no issues were found and I was given some great advice on how to check my breasts and sent home with leaflets 

     

    i hope it goes well for you 

  • Hi   they tend to give results on the day if they can, biopsies need to be sent to the lab so take approximately 2/3 weeks. Take someone with you as they can hear what's said as we get  flustered  and forget.
    Make a list of questions before you go. They are great in the clinic and the nurses are up to date with treatment ect . I have a "season ticket " for breast clinic due to breast pain. They are happy to see us when we are concerned. 
    Take care hope all goes well
