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?

    @Ella1611 That is such great news & good for you on taking control & ringing your surgeon. You must be feeling such a sense of relief & you have learnt a lot about the process this time around so it will make it a little easier for next time. Every year you will get that scanxiety but it does get a little less as you tick off each year. Go out & celebrate!! xx <3
