Breast clinic.

Oh my I'm exhausted!! Have been to clinic today after a 2 week wait and have had mammogram  ultrasound and 3 biopsies results from the scan are indeterminate so need to wait for the results from the biopsies which will be in 2 weeks time. I devastated that I have to wait 2 more weeks. It feels like such a long time! I am trying to be positive that it wasn't a straight cancer diagnosis and my lymph nodes are clear so if I do get acancer diagnosis then at least I know it's not spread.

Am struggling with work though. I'm a nurse and am really finding it hard giving of myself when I'm so emotional and exhausted but don't want to sit around at home either. 

This is such a roller-coaster ride. 

  • Stay positive if you can - remember that the only thing that has changed is you now have more information. I'm just waiting for my breast clinic appointment and even at this stage am finding work difficult - keep Freudian slipping and saying breast at inappropriate moments! 

    How was the breast clinic? I called to ask what it involves but still totally unsure what to expect in terms of the information I'll get on the day, really. 

  • Hi.

    Btreat clinic was a long visit 3 1/2 hrs all together. Firstly I filled in a form with details of the problem and then waited to see the specialist. She examined me agreed there was a lump that needed investigation so had a mammogram, then a long wait then an ultrasound and another wait followed by 3 biopsies. All 3 were slightly uncomfortable but wouldn't say any of it hurt really. Although I'm sore today from the biopsies. I then went back to see the specialist who then told be the result and that I'd be seen again in 2 weeks. The staff were all lovely and gave me plenty of time to ask questions and asked my hubbie if he had any. It's a very busy clinic though I was. Surprised how many people were there. Good luck with your appt I hope you get positive news x

  • Hiya,

    I'm in similar position at the moment and just looking for people too talk too.

    I'm 26 and on the 25th Feb I found a lump on my left breast in the bath by chance. GP referred me too the breast clinic and only received the appointment today. It's for the 15th March first thing, this waiting is killing me!

  • The waiting is the worst part. I really hope you get good news when you go to clinic. Good luck x
