Went to the Dr last week as my right breast has plucking. I have an app at hospital on 24th june. I'm trying not to worry but of course you do. I haven't told my children. What can I expect at the hospital?
Sorry to hear that you've some health concerns at the moment. I'm sure that it's felt tlike a long time until your appointment but only a few more days to go now. Hopefully you've been able to keep busy so as not to worry too much.
If you have breast symptoms, your GP usually refers you to a breast clinic. It might be a one-stop clinic where you have several tests during one visit (a triple asessment). The tests can diagnose breast cancer and other breast conditions. You have an examination of your breast and an ultrasound scan and breast x-ray (mammogram). If these tests show an abnormal area, a doctor or nurse takes a sample of tissue (a biopsy). They send it to the laboratory for testing.
Hopefully your appointment on Monday will offer some reassurnace. Do pop back and let us know how you get on.
