First year check up after lumpectomy

Hi all, 
I would like to know what your experiences were at your first year mammogram after a lumpectomy. I had a mammogram this morning, followed up by an ultrasound. I’m seeing my specialist next week but that is such a long time away. It’s so nerve wrecking. When would they recommend a biopsy? Is that usually done straight away after the mammogram/ultrasound showed something up or would my specialist discuss this with me first?

    Hi @Ella1611, scan anxiety is normal especially that first year. Keep busy doing things you like. My first year mammogram and ultrasound after the lumpectomy was clear. No biopsy taken. I cried when I had the scans but I got my results almost immediately after so less stress in that regard. Hang in there.
