Abnormal mammogram and family history

Not sure what I am looking for but maybe just support.

I have a family history of breast cancer (Mum currently being treated and both maternal aunt and grandmother died of breast cancer). As a result I was referred for early mammograms (I am 43). Of course, first mammogram abnormal and now have to go for ultrasound and biopsy. Appointment not until a week on Friday.

I know that I will deal with the outcome regardless but really struggling with the wait and unknown! Any advice? Thanks x

Hi,
Like you I have a family history of breast cancer (every female from maternal side for the last 3 generations!) and was also called back for follow up biopsies after having my annual mammogram.

Originally told to get my result tomorrow, then appointment got pushed back till next week. Waiting is hard, I try to keep as busy as possibly.
They need to be very thorough, and investigate even if it is a borderline case for alarm.
I keep reminding myself that in the worst case, hopefully they will address early.

Hope this helps, x
