My mother has a small lump in one of her breasts which was detected when she had a routine mammogram. She had to go back for another mammogram to double check it. She then had to be cut open last week so that they could remove some of the tissue (or something like that) and she's scheduled to go and get the results next Thursday. Today she was telephoned by the hospital and was asked to return tomorrow morning because they needed to re-scan the rest of her right breast just to double check it ...
...I was doing okay, worry-wise, until she just told me that she's got to return tomorrow for a 'routine' re-check of her breast as that sounds anything other than routine to me. Fortunately I am not too familiar with cancer but I'd thought that if she wasn't contacted by anyone medical between having the biopsy and the meeting with the doctor/consultant/whatever, then that was probably okay but if she was then that didn't look good.
It's a difficult question but ... has anyone been through this and, if so, do you think I'm right?
