Hi, after finding a dent near my nipple and a large hard lump I just had my breast clinic appointment where they did a mammogram, scan and biopsy. I was meant to go and see the consultant after but the breast clinic didn't know and sent me home so then that afternoon I get a call from the cancer care nurse saying the consultant had wanted to see me as my lump is suspicious and wants me to have a MRI. I really wish I had seen him so I could have asked questions but the cancer care nurse said not to worry she's not dealing with me because they know it's cancer they are just gathering as much evidence as they can. I was told the biopsy would be 2-3 weeks but she said the consultants will have thier results meeting next week and then I will know. Seems like they are speeding it through which is great for my waiting worry but also scary.
What I want to know is has anyone else had dealings with a cancer care nurse when in actual fact they didn't have cancer, like why wasn't it just his secretary phoning me to book an MRI, why did he get a cancer nurse to do it? I'm only 36 but have a strong family history of BC.
