Thank you for your support and kind reply. Im so sorry to hear about your experiences and losses within your family and wonderful that your mum is doing so well. 

I’m just going to have to try & be patient until my private appt tomorrow morning and manage my anxiety over this. I’m assuming I can still go to my nhs appt next week at the breast screening service and take any results with me? I’ve not experienced this situation before so it’s a bit confusing. I don’t think I could afford a biopsy (if needed) privately but at least I’d have the repeat mammogram & ultrasound quickly with private hospital and hopefully some info straight away. Has anyone else gone down this route?

Thanks again for your support x

Hello, sorry you find yourself on here. I totally understand your worry, all you want is to know now....either way......it's the waiting that's the worse part....and your so right about dr google...evil little quack he is! 

I see no reason why you can't also go private...you just trying to prepare yourself. 

The biopsy is painless ( well, I found the core biopsy fine) then more waiting! This forum has been a god send to me....and whatever happens I think it will help you too.....good luck and keep us posted! Xxx

Hi SharonLouise, Just wanted to add my support to what the other ladies have said. It is very likely to be nothing sinister, and you will find out tomorrow. My partner gave me some good advice once. He falls asleep each night in less than 2 minutes and I asked him how he did it. I often struggle if I have something on my mind. His approach is that if it is something he can do nothing about, then there is no point in thinking about it so he doesn't. 

So please don't make yourself ill with worry. You have done what you can in getting a quick private appointment. Once you have had that, you may find the weight is lifted from your shoulders and you can relax. Whatever the outcome, you will have more information and with this more information you will be able to start making decisions. The waiting is just awful. We have all been there and we know how your mind just spirals into overdrive. Don't use Dr Google. The Cancer.uk website has some pretty solid information if you need to look things up.

Good luck with tomorrow. Do let us know!

No worries at all, like I said I just wanted to try to give you some comfort in such a worrying time. 

I have been private before for treatment, unrelated to this but it still works the same with tests and results etc and you will still be able to go to your NHS appointment, if anything, going private has got the scans that the NHS would have done, done a lot quicker so that when you got to the NHS appointment next week, whichever doctor you see will be able to look at them, then decide on if they want you to have a biopsy or if they can see what's going on adequately enough from the scans you've had. And then you won't have to worry about paying for a biopsy privately, as the NHS will do it for you. I think it's usually 1-2 weeks for the results of a biopsy. The ultrasound results are usually spoken about quite quickly, as they don't require such analysis and labarotary testing etc, so hopefully it'll be able to give you some more answers. 

Good luck for today!
