good you are getting refered , I had BC last year 

unfortunately no one can say until you get the tests done as you said sometimes things that look serious turn out good and vice Verda fact is only 2 in 10 lumps turn out bad news 

I never felt any lump and still had a diagnosis it’s crazy 

you have done the right thing 

Good luck 

So sorry to hear you've had bc, did yours show up on a mammogram if you had no lump?

I got my appointment a week to the day I saw my GP, the same timescale as for 2 previous referrals to the breast clinic which turned out to be nothing. Not so confident this time though. It will be great for you to go off on holiday after your appointment hopefully with positive news so you can really enjoy yourself. 

Thanks both of you, I got my appointment letter within 2 days of referral which is very fast! When I was put on the 2ww for kidney cancer (benign tumour thankfully) I had to wait the full 2 weeks, didn't get an appointment till like the day before! 

Nettie why you not confident this time? I'm sure you'll be fine as the last 2 times :)

Because this time I had to have a biopsy. Lesion didn't show on mammogram and is not palpable, only showed on ultrasound. Last time it was cysts, this time its different. Only discovered because I had a CT scan after breaking my ribs. A bit scary because it would not have been picked up on a regular breast mammogram screening which would have been due shortly. There is a silver lining to falling off your horse I suppose. 

I thought mammograms always picked up anything suspicious related to cancer? Maybe the fact that it didn't is a good thing and means it's something else? 

Yes its lucky you fell off your horse! Hope you wernt too badly injured? I'm guessing you must of been to need a CT scan, but if its picked up now before a mammogram, if its the big nasty then hopefully caught early? Can you feel it now you know its there?

I see lots of ladies here where mamos don’t pick up some breast cancers it’s a horrible thought but seen a few here where this happens regularly I couldn’t believe it myself but since being here myself it’s shocking xx

It is isn't it! I don't know what the words 'dense breasts' means but I've seen it a few times on here and some people say they don't work as good on dense breaststroke, or might be the other way round? Is it if your over 40 your better off having a ultrasound? My gp has explained none of this to me and it doesn't explain what will happen when I go to the breasr clinic either. Apparently I'm going straight from my gp feeling the lump to a breast surgeon according to my letter which is scary

Stupid autocorrect writing breaststroke lol, my daughters are swimmers and I use that word alot! 

Dense breast tissue ,relates to pre menopausal women ,I think. More difficult to see anything on mammograms.

Thats why we have them after 50.. Good luck and keep on to them x

o webt to a one stop clinic I’m 49 

I had a mamo my lump showed up immediately, so I then had a ultrasound 10 mins after then biopsy straight away I was told there and then it looked suspicious I then had biopsy results 7 days later confirming it 

you will have a good check over I’m sure you will feel happy they are very good and make you feel relaxed xx
