What to expect at Breast Clinic appointment?

Hi there.

I am 26 years old and visited my GP last week about a hard lump I found during a self-exam. The GP said it was not a cyst or fatty tissue and has referred me to the Breast Clinic. I have my appointment next week.

I am not sure what to expect, can anyone advise? Will I receive any results on the day or have to wait any longer? 

How long should I expect that I’ll be at the appointment? 

I am understandably nervous.

  • When I went I had a very big lump, so there was clearly something unpleasant going on. At the clinic I had a mammogram, then an ultrasound and biopsy, which wasn't nearly as bad as I'd imagined it would be.

    I asked straight away if they thought it was a cyst and from the consultant's answer it was clear they were pretty certain it was cancer. 

    I had a two-week wait for the results. I imagined the worst over that time and cried so much, something I never usually do. I thought I was dying, but it the end it, while it was cancer, it was completely treatable and all done and dusted within 6 months from the clinic appointment to successfully finishing treatment.
