One stop breast clinic question

Hi, to try and cut a long story short in March i found a lump in my left breast and did a two week wait to the breast clinic, had a biopsy, then got told in had fat nerosis (all good news)

Last week I found a soft squishy movable thickening type thing between my arm pit and the top of my right breast. I went to the gp on Friday who said it was just breast tissue and i had nothing to worry about! She said i didn't need a referal back to the clinic but to go to group therapy for my health anxiety. (I never had my right breast checked in march)

 

My mind has been working over time. I'm totally anxious again. I'm worried that the doctor has got it wrong. I'm totally panicking and feeling the lump and I don't think my mind would be settle until someone has had a proper look. 

As the last two week wait was the worst wait in my life I was wondering about going privately to a one stop clinic. 

I just wondered what they do there? Is it worth going? How much am I looking at paying? Do you need a doctor's referal?

I've googled it and all I can see is people that have been diagnosed with breast cancer through one stop and no one with positive outcomes? 

Sorry to moan but I just can't settle. I'm getting so down about all this. I feel like I'm about to go through another month of hell and I'm not sure how much more i can take. I've got 3 kids that need me.

 

Thanks xx

  • Hi there..

    I can't understand why they'd do a biopsy without a mamorgram and / or scan ...  l thought that was normal practice to look at both ..  confused dot com ...

    If i were you I'd call McMillan and ask their advice first .. then you could go back to a different g p and know your rights of what to do ... and as for health anxiety...cheek of him ... he's the one causing anxiety..  let us know how it goes .. you can Google McMillan and their phone number is there ...

    But remember 8.5 out of ten lumps are benign... so try not to panic ... my first four call backs from mamorgrams were all clear... Chrissie x
