No need to apologise for having a rant B as that's what the forum is for and it's also completely understandable why as it's not nice that you've been left feeling this way.

As you've said the positive is that the scan was clear and it's good you get to go back in 4 months for a follow up so fingers crossed you'll see someone with a better bedside manner at that appointment and are able to ask all the questions you need.

Kind regards,

That's really good news about your scan, some consultants have no bedside manner at all.  I had to have breast surgery, not cancer but a lot of tissue was removed.  On the day of surgery the male surgeon drew on me with black marker pen showing the incisions, this man was not who I saw originally and the cuts would now be across my chest rather than down the side, so laid in my gown I refused his options, he was not amused but I got my way.  So my moral is there are some pretty unsympathetic people out there and it's a brave person who stands their ground, or in my case, laid down on a trolley stand!!  So accept that you panicked, forget what hubby says, he wasn't there, wonder how he would have reacted if it had been his bits at risk!!  Just a little help on the rib pain, my bras were not fitting me well and my pain was a dull ache all day, I got measured at a proper bra fitters, not a high street one and the difference with a supportive bra was wonderful.  Good luck with getting sorted.  Best wishes, Carol
