Mammogram

Hi Karen, I'm so sorry to hear that you are feeling so distressed and think it would be a great idea in the first instance to call the day oncology unit and have a talk with them. My last mammogram and ultrasound were extremely nerve-wracking as they also did extra mammogram pictures and the ultrasound showed a dark spot in the good breast which completely freaked me out. However, the technician did say on the day it looked like a cyst, and this was later confirmed in my results. I was a mess waiting to hear, but also knew that my GP would be on the phone straight away if there was anything amiss, so tried to think about that instead - it wasn't easy. I was also able to get a copy of my results within 48 hours and although I'm not supposed to open them, I did (well, my husband did, I couldn't bear to look) and they confirmed a cyst.

It's so hard going through this all the time and I can completely understand your fear and concern and truly hope that all is OK. Thinking of you. Jane xx
