Hey everyone,

I have been referred to the breast clinic after seeing a dimple in my breast while changing for bed last week.

Dr was so good, agreed she could see the same and felt a thickening under it, referred me and I got a call from the hospital the next day. Booked for June 12th.

Im so grateful for being referred and hearing back so quickly but the wait is hard and staying away from Dr Google!! Which in all honesty I'm not being very sucessful!

I also found a second dimple yesterday.

Thankfully I have 3 boys to keep me occupied, 5 years old and 21 month old twins! Plus hubby has been great.

I am 38

Does anyone know if I'll have mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy? Or just mammogram?

Any experiences of the breast clinic, what to expect, anything I should do?

Thank you for reading, sending love and hugs to all waiting, diagnosed and fighting xxx

  • Karen, the move sounds exciting, what a lovely distraction to have. I'm sure it will be great to live nearer to your daughter no matter what the outcome of tomorrow 's appointment. 

    Sending lots of positive thoughts and all my best wishes for tomorrow. Let us know how it goes and please remember we're here for you whatever the results, good news or bad xxx

    Nicola, I've been a bit of an ostrich, my head is well and truly in the sand, I think that having so much going on in my head has worn me out mentally. It's been a busy weekend and I haven't stopped today. I feel like the world is on hold until I know more. 

    I suddenly have an image of morcomb and wise skipping away singing 'Bring me sunshine' maybe that will be us ladies skipping to our appointments! Lol

    Positive thoughts ladies xxx

    Hello & Good Luck at your appointments today, 

    Please let us know how you get on xx

  • Good Luck Ladies, 

    I hope you appointments went well. Please let us know how you got on x x

  • Hi guys, 

    I'm pleased to say that my ultrasound detected several cysts which were going down.  Nothing to worry about. I'm so relieved. Now I get to concentrate on my chemotherapy for the ovarian cancer with no distractions.

    Marthasperson and NicolaGwd81 I hope your appointments went well. Thinking of you both.

    To everyone else, thank you for your messages and support. Wishing you all the best on your journeys. 

    I'll see some of you on the chemo group. Big hugs everyone TT xxx

    Hey and

    I am so pleased to hear your appointment went well TT, wishing you well with your ovarian treatment.

    My appointment went well too, I had an ultrasound just around the area the dimple was and they advised breast tissue all normal.

    So very grateful for how well I was looked after that morning and so very grateful for all the support here too.

    So sorry for not replying sooner, our 5year old has had his tonsils out and with the twins its been beautiful chaos!!!

    I am so happy to have been given a good result, my only worry is that since my breast clinic appointment I have a 2nd dimple to the side of my breast (1st was under) and also a small pea size lump/lymphnode just above the 2nd dimple.

    I don't want to seem like a hypercondriac and go back to Drs but worry as my whole breast wasn't screened and can't help worry now with more breast changes!!!

    Haven't even mentioned to hubby xx

  • Hi ,

    I was just wondering if you had gone back to clinic due to these changes.

    I would certainly have mentioned it just to be a the safe side. Any changes are worth investigating x
