Referred to breast clinic

[Mamaxo]

Ive Had a lump in my left breast for 6 weeks I’ve finally gone to the gp and he’s put in a urgent referral to the breast clinic for a ultrasound and possibly a biopsy, I’m freaking out abit now, just wondering if anyone’s been through this and how did it go?

Very pleased for you! I've been to the clinic three times with lumpy boobs, and the third time asked how I could tell the difference between another lumpy boob lump and one that was important. They said you can't, and to come back every single time.

that's great to hear 👍🏼 what a relief for you xx

Fab news xx

I went to the GP on the 13th Nov as I felt a lump which was quite protruding. I say a clinical nurse practitioner who examined bother breasts. He could feel a mobile and fibrous lump (possibly more than one) in my right breast and one (possibly more) in the left. My report isn't clear whether there is more than one in each breast but on examination I'm pretty sure I heard him sY there is more than one.
I got my appointment at the breast clinic on the cancer two weeks referral on Saturday 29th Nov. My mum will be coming with me.
I am a mum to my 9 year old girl.
Not sure how to feel, one min I don't feel anything, then I am crying.
I have endometriosis (waiting laproscopy and possible hysterectomy) had to stop my medication which finally controlled all my Endo symptoms, as instructed on examination, until I know what these lumps are.

@Snowybaby88 sorry to hear you're going through this anxious time too. I wish you the best for tomorrow. I have my appointment on Tuesday and I'm terrified at times and other times I'm calm... all the best x

@Snowybaby88 how was your appointment? x

Mine wasn’t a good outcome. Stage 1 cancer with dcis in situ. Surgery booked for 3 days before Xmas!

So pleased for you x

@ohdoriswheresthesalad I'm sorry to read that. That must have been a big shock, but it is great news that it's been caught early.

Happening all around Christmas makes it all more emotional. I bet. But it's good that you're getting it out of the way before the holidays. All the best for your surgery.

I'll be spending Christmas Eve having chemo.... but I'm glad I'm not losing a week. I want to get it over and done with as soon as possible,

You were not wasting anyone's time. So pleased you have the best result.

@viktoriaoh my goodness! And here’s me whittling and whining about my diagnosis when you’re in that position. I’m sorry to hear that.x

@ohdoriswheresthesalad oh no, not at all. It's such a shock to hear the word cancer. And while it's not a competition,...surgery is scary.
I'm just pleased for you that it's stage 1. Well done for catching it early.

Bless you @viktoriathank you.
It is scary, I’m terrified! Xx

@ohdoriswheresthesalad I totally get it. I'm going to have a port inserted (for chemo) and it's a tiny day procedure with just local anaesthetic and I'm scared.
But just try to think what a relief you'll feel when it's over and done.
Try and do good things for yourself. Spoil yourself.
I have realised I have bought lots of little things that have cheered me up. (I will curtail my spending after December)
But I also love going for walks. Either by myself or with friends.
I have "proper" surgery coming up in May probably. I try not to worry about that just now. ( I know... it's easier said than done) Very small steps. One day at a time.
Keep strong and have your little cries too.
All the very best

i’ve been sent twice and both times it was nothing to worry about. Good luck x

Quick, caring and efficient with instant results. Both times 3 working days. Normal "squash" scan, followed by speaking to consultant, then ultrasound, then back to consultant to discuss. I was OK, mastitis scar from breast feeding recorded. Second time, it was cysts, suggestions on diet, change of bra and evening primrose prescription. Made to feel good about reporting.
Young new mum behind me had a 2 day referral for pre-surgery checks, and some pills to dry her milk (yes she was in bits about positive result, but so quick and sympathetic). Just one thing, if you are paying for parking, you may be a few hours

Going through this now ,,worried sick

@liamharhaget your self over to “likely breast cancer after ultrasound thread 3”. Lots of support on there x
