Hi SusieBell

Someone needs sacking for their incompetance. One gets the results first, then an appointment is made with the surgeon if surgery is required. This doesn't mean you have cancer, benign conditions can also be considered for surgery. I note in a previous post of yours you ask about a U3 lump which means 'Uncertain/likely benign', so my guess is they want you in for further evaluation/tests and to discuss the results. Hope all goes well x

Thanks. I've had a tearful night.  My appointment is today at 11.45am. Let's see. X

Hi susie bell, 

I dont know if it differs round the country but all my letters and appointments was with a breast surgeon...I never actually saw him until my surgery needed doing.

Just one of his colleagues.

And the radiology team may need to do further scans...or biopsies.

I initially had 3 and then had to go back and had 13 normal biopsies under ultrasound and 6 while having a mammogram.

I hope you get some answers today and good luck x

Let's us know how you get on x

It freaked me out the way it's been worded. I might follow up later with some feedback about the impact the wording has on patients waiting for biopsy results. My last appointment had the doctor's name. This time " you will be seen by a member of the breast surgery team". It's the surgery bit. If it had said "breast clinic team" I would not be so anxious. 

Anyway. Not long now ...

Hi,

I know what you mean about the wording..you automatically think surgery and then think the worst.
