Hi, I’m sorry you find yourself here and for the anxiety you’re going through. 

So at the breast clinic you will have a breast examination usually followed by an ultrasound and mammogram (depending on how old you are) They can usually tell a lot from these images and they can often reassure you just from looking at these, if they feel something needs to be looked at more closely they may do a biopsy (which is what I’m very anxiously awaiting results for) and you will then get these results 1-2weeks later. 

 I know it’s an awful wait, but you have taken the best first step in getting checked. Stay off google as it really isn’t helpful and instead do just as you have done and reach out on places like this as there are many lovely people here who can offer support and advice. Big hugs for you xx 

Thanks for your reply. I’m 40. Will they do all the tests they need on the same day? It’s the not knowing that’s freaking me out. I’m so not ready for any of this. 
sending hugs back… it’s all just so daunting. X

I didn’t get one! So I have no idea. Did they ultrasound and mammogram? I couldn’t have a mammogram as had one in May so they didn’t want to do another. 

I know how you feel, my appetite has pretty much gone and I just have a nervous tummy. Some people get their results quicker and so two weeks seems so long as every hour feels like a day! Xx 

It was my first ever mamogram I got called back another mamogram ultra sound and biopsy and put a marker in I lost my husband 10 months ago im grieving and this is making everything worse I have been calling them every day to push them xx

 I’m so sorry to hear about your husband, as if this isn’t a hard enough time for you anyway, this added anxiety really won’t help Do you have a good support network? It’s good they are being so careful and checking you, it sounds like it could be precautionary. Did they say anything about your lump? Xx 

Thankyou it's really tough im so heartbroken  I they can't feel any lump there was a mass detected on the ultra sound she said it didn't look like C and give me a category u3 but said they need to check it im just convinced I have it now did you feel a lump ? Xx

That’s good they didn’t feel anything, perhaps it’s too small to feel. I had been getting problems with my other boob so only went to the breast clinic about that a while before, then I felt a lump on Sunday in my left breast. The consultant felt it straight away and then ultrasound saw a solid lump so had to have a biopsy, this one gets pains too and now a rash. Your mind goes to all sorts of scary places! 

I bet you are heartbroken, my husband is my soul mate and so I can only imagine the big hole yours has left in your life. Especially at times like this when he would be supporting you xx 

Yes I really need him now more than anything he would hate to see me so down he was my soul mate always will be. 

I just think if it was all OK wouldn't they just tell me over the phone ? Or is it normal to have a face to face regardless of the result good or bad ? Xx

Did you have an appointment booked anyway to go in? As they would probably just want to see you anyway, they sometimes want to monitor lumps even if they are benign so try not to read too much into that although I know it’s hard. I went private and they told me two weeks although I’ve had friends who have had calls about results in 3 days to say all was ok, I think it depends on where you are in the country too xxx 

She called today to say we have appointment for you for your results xx 

Oh that’s good, I’ve heard others say if they’re bad then they mention about being someone with you. It could just be something very normal and maybe they’ll watch it and perhaps call you in for scans a bit earlier than the usual ones xx 

Fingers crossed I will let you know Wednesday how it goes keep me updated here anytime for a chat xx
