Hi. Waiting is not easy is it? I'm not in your area but a one stop clinic usually means they can do mammogram ultrasound and maybe some sorts of biopsy (if the scans suggest it us needed). 

I didn't get results on the same day because I needed different biopsy than they could do on the day.

However, they did tell me my lump was not malignant from the scans which was a huge relief. 

Not wanted to alarm you but in my case they found something else which was why I then needed the biopsy!

What I'm trying to say is do you best to keep busy. You may get something ruled out on the day but you may not get a full diagnosis if there are more tests needed.

I hope you find the clinic reassuring ......I found it was very supportive and both nurses and consultant took time to explain things and allowed me to ask lots of questions. 

Hope it goes well for you x 

Hi

thank you so much for your reply..

waiting around really isn’t easy this is the most difficult thing I’ve ever dealt with in my life I feel like I can’t even cope right now!

its reassuring knowing I will get told if they think it is cancer or not, that’s all I want to know, even if I have to have further Tests as long as they can tell me SOMETHING reassuring this anxiety will hopefully lift.

I don’t even feel reassured from the GP telling me what she thought it was, no one can tell by touching it and this discomfort I’m feeling is a new thing. 

Im just so scared I have a little boy he’s only 19 months old and I’m constantly thinking the worst. 

Im sorry they found something else in your experience and I hope everything worked out for you and that you’re now well.

Hi everyone,

i thought i would jump back on here with the outcome of my appointment... it was good news! But still abit confused about what has been said. 

So I found a hard lump which my first gp I seen told me it was

moving so I was slightly relieved but obviously still worried but everytime I felt it I knew it didn’t move... anyway fast forward to the breast clinic the dr confirmed it was hard and immobile on my examination which completely freaked me out I’d never been so scared in my life.

She sent me for an ultrasound and a mammogram but didn’t end up needing to have a mammogram as my scan showed NOTHING! No cyst, fibroadema, nothing. 

They said it was ‘normal healthy breast tissue’

im so confused by this how can it be normal when a lump has been formed?

surely they can’t ‘miss’ anything on a scan? As that keeps going through my mind! I just don’t understand why I have a hard lump that’s appeared but there’s absolutely nothing to see on a scan? 

Obviously im over the moon with my results I couldn’t be happier but I still have them  annoying thoughts ‘what if’ I’m constantly feeling the lump and it feels quite prominent.

has anyone else experienced this?? 

Xxx

Hi

Great to hear you had good news! 

I think it's safe to say breasts are funny things...

I'd say keep checking regularly several times during your monthly cycle and do go back to the GP if it feels "off" ... 

You can also ask for a second opinion ....or maybe arrange a private mammogram? I've never done this so no idea how ... or how much it costs!

The specialists are very used to looking at scans  etc so try and trust them. I'm sure the breast nurses would also be happy to answer any questions you might have if you have them a ring (I.e. how can it be "nothing " if there is a lump?) It may be a cyst or something but they have not explained this properly to you. I think you can also request a copy if your scans and notes ....but again I don't know how to do this.

After my clinic visit the consultant wrote to my gp with the findings and I was automatically sent a copy which was really helpful. 

Hopefully you are feeling relieved they didn't see anything that worried them ..... and sorry if I've been a bit slow to notice your update!

hi 

thank you so so much for your reply and I’m sorry I didn’t see it sooner!

i am really relieved... but even when I was looking at the screen when I was being scanned everythin looked the same there was nothing that stood out to me to say it was anything as it looked the same all over my breast... I just find it strange how a hard immobile lump didn’t show on a scanner as anything different to the rest of my breast.

i expected a letter explaining what they found/didn’t find etc but I didn’t get one so I will try and request that from my doctor and just keep an eye on things.

im so anxious about checking my breasts now after finding the lump it really worries me just so thankful I was very lucky and that’s what I’m going to concentrate on

thank you so much for your support and i hope you are well xx
