I've just joined the forum. I'm halfway through the diagnosis process,, had my ultrasound and mamogram with the biopsies. Couldn't fit in the MRI, oh my goodness, I've never seen anything like it before. It looked like somebody had propped an ironing board up with blocks at one end, and it went up at an odd angle. My derriere blocked the way so it had to be abandoned.
Waiting for an appointment with different equipment. But feeling a bit gutted as it is another week or so to wait.
So far it is M3 U5 (I believe this stands for mammogram amd ultrasound).
So it's just a case of waiting, and waiting.
