Hi Jls,

This is fantastic news - I'm delighted for you. Like you, I would have been happier if you had been more thoroughly checked, but don't hesitate to return if you find anything else.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hey Missty,

Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you’re having a tough time with worry.

like others have said, it’s all very normal to receive your referral very quickly. I received a referral review letter in the post the day after my doctors appointment, but then it took a few weeks to get my appointment (due to the waitlist in my area and recent strikes) whereas others received their appointments much quicker than me. 

I’m pleased you’ve managed to get an appointment so soon, but please don’t read anything into this. 

it’s incredibly hard to focus on anything else when you’re so anxious, but honestly, having a good cry and getting those emotions out are so important. I hope you have a good support network around you - do try and keep yourself busy if you can. Watch a few episodes of something to take your mind off things or take yourself out for a lovely walk somewhere pretty and soak up nature. 

Let us know how you get on, we are all here to chat anytime xx

Thank you. It really is a horrible time waiting, especially now I know all the tests are done and they have results. I’m dreading Thursday but at the same time can’t wait to get it over with. I’ll let you all know the outcome, good or bad xx

Hi missty1982,

I wouldn’t panic I had a txt the morning after my GP appointment saying about the referral and had my appointment a week later, at my breast clinic I had my ultrasound, mammogram and biopsy done at the same time, I think they refer to it as a “one stop clinic” meaning they do it all in one appointment (if needed of course), I think as others have said they have had appointments separately, I think this is just to the type clinic and how that specific clinics works so I really wouldn’t read too much into it just yet. I hope your appointment goes well sending love and have my fingers crossed for you xx

Hi 

yes always busy I have a 8 month old and a 4 year old to keep me going. I am actually on maternity leave at the moment. I am just praying and have everything crossed that it will all be over soon and everything will be ok. It’s hard though to not think of the what if … 

Thank you xx

Yes my first time. Thank you x

You definitely are super busy. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. 

I think that's the same where I'm going. Everything all at once. 

I ended up telling my mum yesterday. I couldn't cope, found it really hard at work and all because I found a dark stain a finger or two, away from where the lump is. I think finding that took me over the edge. 

Anyone else had that?

I’ve been referred to a breast clinic after having an appointment with my GP yesterday.

i initially wanted to see a GP because I was concerned about a red area and potential small red lump but the GP wasn’t concerned as the redness and lump had really gone done. However she did notice that my nipple on the same breast was slightly inverted and was a bit concerned. 

to me it doesn’t look any different but now I’m freaking out and concerned! Waiting to book an appointment for the Breast clinic. 

I am finding great comfort hearing everyone else’s stories and knowing I’m not alone. This is probably the most anxious I’ve been in my life xx
