Recall mammogram

So i had a mammogram monday after my doctor referred me for a suspicious lump. After having an examination, mammogram and ultrasound I'm Told on the day that everything appeared ok and got sent on my way. The very next day I'm called back in for further tests. Apparently a different consultant had gone over my file and wasn't in agreement with the first. I went back yesterday (Thursday) morning and had further mammograms and got sent home straight after. I'm in total turmoil I've not been told any results and my heads all over the place. Anybody gone thru similar. How long did it take to get results?? I just feel the clinics tho they treated me lovely are being very vague. I'm so worried I'm not sleeping :cry:

  • Hello Mskiz, 

    Poor you what a stressful and confusing time it must be for you after having two consultants say different things! Now having to wait for results with all this uncertainty is clearly a very difficult thing to do and it must be a very anxious time for you which a lot of our members will be able to relate to and hopefully they will be along shortly to share their story with you. I hope you won't have to wait too long for these important results and I am sorry to hear this has affected your sleep. 

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. Perhaps try and do something really relaxing like reading a good book before going to sleep so that you don't get sleep deprived. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,
