At the breast clinic, keep me company

[iamfedupwiththis]

At the breast assessment clinic following a recall after my 2nd mammogram
Had a mammogram
Had a US
Now a/w a needle biopsy

Bless you, I’ve been there. Try not to worry too much; most people recalled don’t have cancer x

Seconding that it is more often than not good news.

Whats the plan for the rest of the day? Any nice treats planned?

Is there a cafe near the site? My hospital has a Costa, and after anything scary I like to go for a latte and something sweet (I'm addicted to their easter chocolate cornflake cakes!)

Good luck.

Take care. My turn on Thursday x

I am sure it will all be positive and they’re just being thorough

is there a cafe where you can go grab a coffee and some cake?

I've been there. The biopsy hurts a bit on the day and for a week or so afterwards, so just be prepared.
They will tell you today whether they think they have seen cancer.

So I have an appointment to go back in one week.

The Consultant doesn't think it is cancer but cannot be certain.

Several years ago I went through all that and it was NOT cancer. It WAS a tumour and I had to have it removed, but it was NOT cancer. I barely have a scar now.

Thinking of you OP, consultant wouldn’t say that unless fairly confident of benign diagnosis but just being thorough.

I have been in this position, and the waiting a week for more information is most definitely the hardest part. Try to plan to keep yourself busy if you can. Once you know what is going on you will feel more in control. Hang in there - you are at the hardest bit. Sending you love and strength.

It's just so scary, i've been there & had a biopsy after my mammogram call back. Very common after your first mammogram I believe as they have nothing to compare with.

Mine was all fine

I was in your position very recently and I know how you feel. Unfortunately it was DCIS for me, but no one told me it was probably benign - they hinted the opposite to be honest, so I think your chances are good.
