Hello lynne11,
A warm welcome to the Macmillan onlline community, although I'm very sorry you have the need to join.
I'd like to suggest that you join our breast cancer forum and repost there, Ive inserted a link to this below.
I'm sure you'll receive plenty of replies and help there.
With my best wishes, Derek.

Hi lynne11 It sounds like you have done the right thing and got referred to the breast clinic. Once you are there you might have a 3D mammogram and ultrasound, and they might take biopsies. The staff are exceedingly skilled at knowing what they are looking at. I have been there 3 times. The first time with lumpy breasts when I was quite young, and the 2nd time in my mid 50s with puffy inflamed skin. Neither of those were cancer and they gave me a clear indication they didn’t expect the biopsy to come back as cancer. The 3 rd time was a mammogram recall, it was cancer and they told me to expect confirmation of that. They will take very good care of you.

I hope your appointment is happening soon. Waiting and worrying is one of the worst stages.
