Would my appointment be so long if mammogram showed anything

Hi I was referred to breast clinic by my Gp after finding a lump in my left breast. Was given a mammogram appointment the following week. My breast clinic appointment has come and it's the 1st of March. 4 weeks since Mammogram. If anything suspicious was seen on the mammogram would I have been given a sooner appointment?

Thank you. 

  • Hello Alil2011 and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry to hear about that lump your doctor found in your left breast and that the next appointment is still a few weeks away.

    Not being a medic familiar with the specifics of your situation I'm afraid I can't tell you whether they'd have sent you for an early appointment if they had spotted anything suspicious. Hopefully other Cancer Chat members who had a similar experience will stop by soon to share their stories with you and offer insight. Until they do and if you feel that speaking with one of our nurses over the phone could help ease your mind, do reach out to them. They're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on this freephone 0808 800 4040.

    If we don't speak before, I hope all goes well with your appointement on the 1st of March.

    All the best,
