Last wednesday I had a mammo and a breastscan privately and thursday morning I saw a breast surgeon and he had the mammo with him - he said that nothing to worry about on the mammo - I had serious damage to my right breast in car accident 8 yrs ago and he said he could see effects of that but only what was expected and a tiny tiny cyst in same area but he said he was totally certain in was a cyst as it had a halo round it. He also did a thorough manual exam of breasts and chest wall ( most painful bit!).
He said the breastscan which is more sensitive than mammo takes 3-5 working days to get results so expecting them this week.
He said it was unlikely but they may request a ultrasound of cyst and if so not to worry BUt until I get the breastscan results in I am getting more and more panicky.
Straight after I had seen surgeon I was happy that no huge galloping cancer had been found and I know from experience - my mother - that mammo will pick up even tiny specks of cancer - but as I am now waiting for my scan results and I getting more and more frightened.
