    Breast clinic appointment through...anyone else waiting?!

    I have my breast clinic appointment through already after going to see it GP on Wednesday after finding a lumpy area....super quick!

    I was feeling ok but now I’m so scared! How do you manage to stay sane waiting? My appointment is January 20th at 9.20am so it’s a blessing it’s an early one!

    I was wondering if anyone else is waiting for an appointment?

    I actually just went through this process and was scared out of my mind. The best advice I got was the reminder that most lumps are benign. Mine was! I regret letting my worry ruin the holidays so don't be like me if you can help it.

    Thanks so much Erinjaye, I was following your thread and was so pleased when you got your results!

    I’m trying not to get to worked up, my GP isn’t to concerned so fingers crossed I can put this all behind me soon!

    I was really surprised how quickly the appointment came as the area of the UK I live in is really struggling with Covid at present!

    Well my breast clinic appointment is tomorrow... I was feeling pretty calm but today is a totally different story!

    So many ‘what ifs’ running through my mind!

    I was wondering, of those who have been through this how long are you usually in clinic for? I only have a letter but no further instructions

    Thanks xx

    Just wanted to say best of luck tomorrow morning. I've been where you are now a few times so i know how scary and frightening it can be. If your GP isn't too concerned then that's a good sign. They will always tell you if they suspect something. And like was mentioned before, most breast lumps are benign.
    Your appointment came through quickly but that is also the norm. Covid or no covid, breast referrals for lumps are within 2 weeks.
    The appointment itself is quick enough once they call you in. My appointments involved asking me questions first, then a physical breast exam and then a mammogram/ultrasound if needed. As far as i know most people will have a mammogram, it's all part of the procedure so just be prepared to have one. Don't freak out like i did the first time and think they're giving you one because they suspect something is wrong. My HA mind loves to tell me things are wrong!!

    The very best of luck in the morning but I'm sure everything will be fine by the sounds of it. Keep us posted xx

    Hi ladies, an update as promised!

    After a breast exam, mammogram and ultrasound i was told there is nothing to worry about, it’s fiberous tissue!

    I can’t praise the NHS enough, I was in and out within 40 mins, everything so clean and Covid secure as they say!

    The specialist breast nurse, mammo nurse and consultant were all so lovely and comforting. I saw the breast specialist nurse first and she put my mind at rest saying she thought it was fiberous tissue but needed it confirmed with imaging.

    After the mammo and ultrasound the consultant said she was not worried and discharged me, the relief was amazing, I floated out of the hospital!

    Thanks everyone for the support xx
