Hi BFAeee28e,
Thanks for getting in touch, and welcome to the online community
My name is Ursula and I’m one of the cancer information nurse specialists on the Macmillan support line. I see that you’ve joined a few of our forums. I really hope you find them supportive and helpful.
As we are independent of the NHS and do not have access to medical records, we are therefore unable to offer personalised advice. I’m sorry to read that you are feeling anxious about an upcoming appointment to discuss results. I’m afraid we are unable to say why you have been called to the breast clinic. From your post it is not clear what tests you have had and why you were expecting to be seen in hospital rather than a breast clinic. It might be helpful to contact your GP about how you are feeling, or the breast clinic directly for more information around this.
Sometimes it can also be helpful to talk through what has been happening with us over the phone. We can often explain things better over a spoken call with the opportunity to ask questions.
Sending best wishes,
Ursula

Thank you Ursula
I have now been seen and told i have ducal cancer and there is an area that they want to take some more biopsies where they are unsure if it is linked or separate. They are seeing me back at the clinic for this then ii will have an appointment at UCH.
Yes I will give a ring once I have this next biopsy done as I am a bit confused about it all to be honest, then knowing what the next steps are.
Thanks
