Hi there I found a lump & have been referred to 2week wait clinic as GP checked it out. I have 2 questions - what can I expect? Is it true that the longer you are there the more concerned they are & the more stages you go through? 

Also is there anyone on here who had a lump and who was/ is on HRT? I've been on oestrogen gel & progesterone tablet since the middle of 2019..

Thanks for your help I'm in on Friday & very scared as lump is hard painful & big :(

  • Hello.  I was recalled from my first routine screening to a one stop clinic.  There were 5 of us there together for appointment- all been recalled . Firstly we all had a repeat mammogram and then saw Doctor.  At this stage two were sent away as one had a cyst and the other they could no longer find what concerned them on original mammogram.  The rest of us had biopsy though 2 were told before biopsy they had cancer .  I was told only a 1% chance it was cancer.  This was in 2015.  In 2005 I went to GP due to lump under arm.  I was referred to BC clinic where I had mammogram & ultrasound then saw doctor who said it was innocent fat pad!  


  • Thanks Grogg appreciate your reply. Do you mind me asking did you have any other symptoms... I'm just tired all the time but othw ok... 

  • So first time age 40 I had lump under arm.  It was innocent fat pad.  Then recall from first routine screening age 51.  No lump, no pain, no out of sorts issues like tiredness.

    I do find though when waiting for annual mammogram or results etc I get breast pain.  Think it's just stress x
