Hi sue how lucky are you !!! I also went for my 52 year breast screening . Felt very anxious as I have never been to this free one . Was told if there was any thing of concern they would let me know within days or a letter of results will be forwarded within 2 to 3 weeks . Just days before my letter arrived I went shopping wearing a different bra and mentioned to my husband that the wire is digging into me I must have put on boob weight.within the next day or so it was still hurting but could also feel a lump. So I went to family gp who also got the results by then which stated all clear as far as the naked I could see. But doctor was worried sent me to women's diagnostic centre and that is where they picked it up. They found a small lesion which in days went to 4cm and has spread to lymph nodes. They also found that I am positive her2 so i have been advised to do Neo adjuvant therapy. Had first session on Wednesday. Positive positive positive thoughts. We are all in gods care. Hugs to you
