Mamogram/ lump

Hi all

i had my Mamogram today after being referred to one stop breast clinic or so I thought 

but it was just a mammogram and got to wait now. Radiographer said they see you in breast clinic regardless of good or bad news but can take up to 6 weeks! So more sleepless nights 

She did have a look and tried to reassure me and said it could well be glandular tissue or a cyst which could be normal for me but there was a difference between left and right boob.

i am In Newport S Wales and wondered had anyone else had this happen and how long the wait was between mammogram and breast clinic appt
im trying not to worry as she said prob nothing but obviously until they tell me otherwise i will worry

and to make matters worse Im in agony with pain around my bsck and hip and can hardly walk so feeling sorry for myself

thanks

  • Sorry to hear this Nicola, that is a long wait.  I think mostly in England all urgent referrals are to the one stop breast clinics.  I got my appointment a week to the day I saw my GP, was there for about 4 hours, mammogram, ultrasound, biopsy, another mammogram and a topography mammogram.  Unfortunately they gave me a 4 on a scale of 1-5 for the possibility of cancer, now waiting for the biopsy results which I was told take 2-3 weeks.  Stay as busy as you can, I can appreciate your pain makes that more difficult.  Try doing the things you enjoy, listening to great music, some aromatherapy maybe?  Do you know what is wrong with your back/hip - sciatica?

  • Thanks yeah a long wait was expecting it to be an one stop breast clinic but never mind

    sure they will be in touch before if needed

      Im actually waiting for dr to get back to me

    i suffer with fibromyalgia but feels different to that

    had an awful night was sick and just couldn’t get comfortable. 

    Why does everything happen together  xx
