If any of you remember, 2 weeks ago I went and had a mammogram and ultrasound carried out on a lump in my breast. Well mammogram was clear and as far as I'm aware, the ultrasound was ok, however I haven't heard anything back :huh:
I'm due back to the see the consultant in a month for a follow up. I have just called his secretary who was lovely and had my results there and said that everything is absolutely fine and the lump is either a cyst or fibroadenoma. I asked if the radiologist scans the whole area and she said that yes, the whole breast would've been scanned but part of me is worrying that they've missed the lump that I can feel. Does this make sense????
Do they scan the whole area and not just the area of concern?
She also said that I could bring forward my appointment too if it would help to talk to the consultant rather than wait, plus they could remove the lump if it was going to bother me - for example I keep checking it's there!
