Breast clinic during Covid UK

Hi everyone, I have been referred to the breast clinic due to a lump on my right breast and a change under my right nipple. I already have mental health issues and I was wondering what the clinics are like during Covid. Also do I get some form of an answer on the day or is it just a really long process of waiting? Sorry to bother everyone, I'm sure this must seem ridiculous to those who are living with cancer. I don't want to waste anybody's time or anything like that but I would really appreciate some advice. Please take care everyone.

    Hi. You sound similar to me. Ive got mental health issues too so they've been really bad lately because of worry and stress. I didn't recieve a form but had a letter from the clinic to take. And remember to wear a face mask when you go too. But the clinic staff was really friendly and i asked my dr to send them an email asking if i could take my mum with me and they agreed. I found it really quiet there on the day and i was seen quickly. I hope my reply is helpful and good luck with your appointment

    Thank you Amy! I appreciate you taking the time. My mind is whirring constantly so I feel for you going through this too (Hugs) I might ask my dr to do the same thing but I'll have to weigh it out first as we don't live together and if I was the reason she caught Covid I don't think I could handle that but knowing I have the option is great thank you . I expected a phone call so knowing that you had a letter helps too as now I know what I am looking for. I really appreciate your reply Amy, thank you. Best wishes to you! Emma

    Thats ok! If you mention the situation to them about not living together, they might still be ok about it. I felt bad about my mum coming with me too but at the last minute she insisted. The covid-19 makes all this so much harder. Hopefuly you won't have to wait too long for your appointment but i hate the waiting! But try not to think about it too much. You'll be ok on the day
