Hi, I'm going through the same right now, I have my appointment at the breast clinic tomorrow morning. I feel sick with worry.

Do you have a date for your appointment yet?

How did your appointment go? 

Hi, so she found the lump straight away and sent me for an ultrasound. They couldn't find the lump on the ultrasound even though they could find it. 

I have to go back in 6 weeks and if it's still there they will do a biopsy.

I was hoping this was going to be over with today but now I feel like I'm no further forward and have 6 more weeks of worrying.

Sorry to hear that you didn't get the resolution you wanted today, that must be so frustrating.
Did they give you any further information when they felt the lump? 
Sending best wishes xx

She said she wasn't too worried about it and mentioned it could be a cyst or fatty tissue or just a benign lump but if it's still there in 6 weeks she will biopsy to make sure. Part of me is trying not to worry too much as surely if she was concerned she wouldn't make me wait another 6 weeks? But then I know I'm going to sit and worry and over think everything for the next 6 weeks xx

I really feel for you. The uncertainty is enough to drive you crazy. I'm normally quite calm about things like this but I'm really frustrated at the moment that I don't know when my appointment will be, so I can understand how fed up you must feel having to wait for 6 weeks. 
Have you got supportive friends and family around you?

I've only told my partner and my mam, they're being really supportive.

When did you get referred? I was told to ring them up if I hadn't been given an appointment within a week

sorry to jump on thread but I think if you ring the clinic and tell them that your anxiety will get the better of you waiting 6 weeks they could possibly do something for you 6 weeks is a long time in limbo 

Good luck lovely 

love Lara ️

Glad you've got some support around you lovely. It's times like this that it's really needed. 
 

Saw my GP on 30th March and she referred me on the 2 week wait. Got a letter a couple of days afterwards from the health trust for my area to say that the local hospital would be in touch but to call if I'd not heard by 4th April. I called the number which was  the trust's central appointment centre on 5th April to chase it and the lady in the outpatient appointments department was quite snippy with me and told me to wait to hear and that they'd get in touch with me when they had an appointment. I tried to call during my lunchtime today but the wait was too long and I had to get back to work. I've got some time tomorrow afternoon so I'll try them again, but don't want to be made to feel like I'm being a nuisance :laugh:

Yeh definitely give them a ring tomorrow as you've waited past the 2 weeks. I know they might be behind because of Easter but they should at least be able to give you a date xx

Hi thanks for your reply. I got a shock when she said 6 weeks as everyone else seems to get all the tests done on the day. If my anxiety gets too much I'll definitely give them a ring, I'm trying to cling on to the fact she didn't seem to concerned about it xx

Sophie 

good luck lovely 

yes be sure to chase if you feel you need to 

love Lara ️

Hey lovely, hope you're doing ok?

Thank you so much for the advice to chase it up! I called them today, and was advised that I have an appointment booked for the 29th of April 2023, which is a Saturday! It's also not at my local hospital - it's at the main hospital for the area. I get the impression that they are quite far behind with appointments, which is why I've got to go to a hospital that's not local, I assume. 

Hope you've had a good day xx

Hi I'm glad you chased it up and now have your appointment. How are you feeling?

I'm doing ok thanks, I'm just trying to distract myself with other things or I'll end up going mad the next 6 weeks xx

Glad to hear that you are doing ok.

I'm much better thank you, now that I know when the appointment is. It's weird, but I feel so much calmer! 
 

Hope that you continue to feel ok over the next 6 weeks. Here to message if you feel you want to but likewise understand if you want to try to forget about it all for as long as you can! 
 

Take care lovely xx

I'm trying to focus on the positive that they seen nothing bad on the scan and surely if they were that concerned they would of done biopsy then. I'm sure I'll have good and bad days over the next 6 weeks but I'm feeling a bit better about it at the moment.

I'm glad you are feeling calmer. I'm here anytime you want a chat and keep me posted on how things go xx
