First te seeing specialist for lump in brest

Hi my wife found a lump in her breast and has been referred to see a specialist about it (mother had brest cancer about 15 years ago) as you can guess she is panicked and I'm wonder if people could help 

What is the best question to ask when we see them especially if she has got brest cancer? 

 

Many thanks 

  • Hiya Richard.   Hugs to you. 

      

    The past 16 days I’ve nearly gone out of my mind - I found a lump like your wife, only to be told then it was an 8 week waiting list to be seen. 

     

    Obviously, the first thought is cancer but there are literally loads of things it could be.  

     

    I paid to see a private breast specialist today & after an agonising wait & the bloody system crashed so they couldn’t read the mammogram, I was told it was fatty necrosis which could be caused by a trauma of some sort. So I was discharged and it WASNT cancer. 

     

    So so stay strong.  I’m sending lots of good thoughts to your wife.   It’s not cancer until they say it is.

     

    wishing you both well xx
