Hi [@Kaila-mum]‍ 

It can be daunting on your first trip and knowing what to expect, but Chriss has given you great information.

I think most appointments are around 2 -3 hours, just because they do like to be able to cover everything in the one appointment and all in the same place so as not to drag it out over different days and appointments.

My extra advice is, as you are going first thing in the morning that is great as you are asked not to wear deodarant, I'm not a smelly person but on the appointments I do like to take some with me to put on after the appointment. And wear something that is loose fitting and easy to take off as they give you a tabbard type top to wear. 

You see the consultant first where you take your top and bra off, then get dressed to move to the next area, where you go into a changing room to take off your top again and put the tabbard on. which you stay in until you have had your mammogram and ultrasound if needed. ( Each breast clinic I am sure is different in layout, mine is over three floors in a stand alone building from the main hospital. so top floor is consultant then go down to one of the other floors for the mammogram and ultrasound)

It is generally all woman staff, you might occasionally see a male doctor there, but they do not come into the mammogram or ultrasound. And even if you went with a husband or boyfriend they are also not allowed into the mammogram or ultrasound area. They staff have always been very polite and friendly and put you at ease.

I hope all goes well for your first experience and that nothing untoward is found.

Good Luck x
