I found a breast lump and was referred to the breast clinic last week. Had a mammogram, ultrasound and four biopsies taken. After this the consultant took me in a side room advised that the mammogram had showed up calcifications and there were some "very worrying things" and he was concerned.
I'm just confused as to what the point was of telling me this? I mean obviously we won't actually know anything until the biopsy results but consequently I have spent the last few days scared shitless and on countdown to my results appointment. I'm just confused as to why he would be so negative at all. It seems cruel. Why not just give a standard "let's wait to the biopsy results"? It seemed speculative and unnecessary.
Also looking to hear anyone else who has been through similar and had negative feedback? Was the feeling of the consultant generally right?
