Confused after breast clinic

hello i am very confused. i went to breast clinic for a painful left breast which found a lump that has been biopsied. but the dr said that the mammogram has shown something 'unreassuring' on my right breast and he has marked is as 5 for maglinant for an mri. he would not explain what it was so no idea if it is a lump or suspected tissue changes or calcifications. he was not sympathetic or kind when i went into shock as i hadn't gone for that breast. i have my mri on monday but am so confused as to what they are looking for when the ultrasound showed nothing on the right side. so all i have in my head is ''5 means malignant' and no idea what they are looking for. i don't want to see him again. any advice would be appreciated. i live alone, so my head is just screwed as i have no one.

 

 

 

 

  • Hello,

    That doesn't sound very nice, that is awful for you. If I were you I would call the Clinic and ask to talk to the Breast Care Nurse! She will go through your notes and explain things to you! Hopefully in a nicer Manner.

    Ring them this afternoon they will help put your mind at rest.

  • After the experience I have gotten anxiety about doing that. Will see if I can pluck up the courage

  • Gosh I bet you have, maybe give yourself some time and when you feel strong enough give them a call. 
     

    I hope that your okay and I am sorry that you have too face this. Love Sarah 

  • You have got this, phone up and reassure yourself I have been referred to the breast clinic aswell about a lump in my breast x

    take care x

  • Plucked up the courage and rang nurse. My left side biopsy was normal but they may want to do it again because my right side is 'not correlating'. I have a lesion on the right side which is why I am having the MRI. The nurse has booked my results for the MDT next Thurs and booking me an appt with a diff Dr for the day after hopefully. Def have clear lymph nodes. She thinks they will want to do a mammogram guided biopsy on the right. Although the biopsy was clear on the left they have had another look at the edges and because my right is undecided they want to redo that from a different place. So my brain can function a bit better now I know but after a bad experience with the dr  it took so much courage to ring up. But typical that I am not straight forward !!!
