What a Day !!!
Hi All,
Well yesterday I went back to the hospital for the results of my mammogram. My appointment was at 9.40 so got there early to get parking as its a nightmare. Got a ticket at the outpatients and waited got called to the desk gave the letter over and silence!!! normally loads of questions (name, address, Tel no etc) but nothing!! " Um your appointment was cancelled on the 12th the Doctor is not here, did you not get a letter or call?"
"No nothing"
"Its now the 9th of May"
Well i have been stressed about this for a week so asked to see the Breast Care Nurse. To cut a long story short they cancelled my appointment but did not tell me so husband took the day off to come with me etc. I got to see the BC nurse and surprise surprise the Doctor had a clinic and the Registrar. They got my notes sent down and the BC nurse tried to get me slotted in but as i was now a "walk in" I was last on the list.
I stayed for 3.5 Hrs as I have been so worried about the results saw the Reg and the results were not clear so have to have an ultrasound (More stress only 3 months after finishing Rads) so thinking can't be anything there must be scar tissue. Then in the afternoon get a call from the registrar to tell me they have upped the ultrasound to include a biopsy if they see anything suspect.
Now I am stressing Big Time the registrar said he could not feel anything but the mammogram was very mottled. I know its just a precaution but all the same feelings as last year are coming back which is not helping. Sorry to go on a bit but I feel a bit despondent after I thought and hoped everything was fine after treatment. I am probably jumping to conclusions but now think I should have had mastectomy to reduce the risk of reoccurrence and the amount of stress this is causing.
Thank You All for listening to me rant on but its helped me a bit by getting off my chest ( so to speak)
Take care Julia :) <3 B)
