All the very best for Wednesday Stacey.  

Hi Mavis 

so so happy that u got the right result.. I can imagine the relief...

snd it’s also good to know that the roller coaster I’m on is normal ... that I’m not over dramatising things ...

could you answer a few things about going private as I’m seriously considering this...where did u go?? How much did it cost? Did u get the result the same day?? 

Mum partner tells me that if I go private I will go to the back of the q for the nhs?? Which if I need treatment won’t b good..

Hi Stacey, 

i suppose it will b good and bad days but I’m glad ( and it’s nive to know) that you managed some quality family time while on holiday. 

I think keeping busy is the answer but that’s easier said than done ... but do try especially with your husband going away to work.. I’m back at work 2mrw so maybe a bit of every day reality will help me... 

stay strong Stacey and good luck for Wednesday ... whatever happens take it one step at a time and hopefully those steps can b towards a pub to celebrate..!! 

Hi.

i didn’t mind waiting the 2/3 week turnaround, even though I was going crazy, but when I phoned up first they said there was no record of a referral for me and I found out the doctor had given me the wrong details, then when I ring again she says calmly yes I’ve received the referral it’s 8 weeks.   I just couldn’t do it.     

So, I’m in South Wales and we got an appointment pretty quickly. I arrived and I was taken for a mammogram, then a consultation with the specialist who did the checks,  it was pretty nerve wracking then as their system crashed so they couldn’t read the mammogram, but then it was up and running and I saw another doctor who gave me an ultrasound and explained it was fat necrosis.  I could’ve cried but I kept calm.   She explains she could see it clearly on the screen. She said then that normally every lump is sent for a test via biopsy but that I didn’t need let. So not to panic if you do they normally have to.

i didn’t really know an exact price when I went in but they had ticked everything I had and then I was billed at the end.  The cost was £472 for mammo, ultrasound, consultation. And that was a one stop clinic with results in the day ( unless you need biopsy)

im not sure if it is results on the day on the NHS it could well be, and I’m also unsure on where you go in the queue. 

Wishing you all the the very best 

Thank you Lisa, I think going back to work and getting back

to ‘normality’ will definitely help! You stay strong too, and hope you get your appointment through soon for as soon as possible!
