Hi everyone I had breast cancer 3 years ago and went for a check up at the breast clinic. My breast doctor said she felt the breast was more prominent and put me for a mammogram. 4 days later I have been asked to go back abd see her im a little frightened as I'm terrified it's going to be bad news. My breast cancer was both hormone positive high and had chemotherapy and radiotherapy any advice would be greatly appreciated 

  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us and so sorry to hear about your recall to the breast clinic this must have been a big shock to you.

    As you already know cancer can bring a lot of stress, confusion and many questions but talking with people who are on the same journey can help a lot so can I first highlight our very supportive Breast cancer group.

    Follow the link I've created, join the group then introduce yourself to the group and post questions after selecting 'start a discussion' and you can also join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

    Can I also highly recommend our various Macmillan Support Line Services - you can call them free on 0808 808 00 00 This service covers Emotional Support, Practical Information. Clinical Information, Financial Support and Work Guidance mostly open 8.00 to 8.00 but check the link and you may also find our Ask an Expert section helpful

    Talking to people face to face can help a lot so check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area or a Maggie’s Centre as these folks are amazing.
