Hello lovely people.
I was recalled after my first mammogram at 50 having received a letter only last Friday asking me to return to hospital the very following Monday. That slightly panicked me enough!
I had another mammogram and an ultrasound. Seemed to be ages in ultrasound using 2 different probes.
Back out of there and straight into another 3 d mammogram of just a certain part of my left breast. Then told I must stay for a vacuum assisted biopsy on same day which I think takes quite a bit of tissue from breast. I had that done as well and was given a letter saying to return in just over 2 weeks to the rapid access clinic for result
I feel quite peaceful about it all as I know I cannot change the outcome, and I rely heavily on my faith but my hubby was very ill and survived a massive aortic dissection 5 years ago and only 9 weeks ago he and my daughter were involved in a serious motorcycle collision. I need to be around to care for folk and I just feel so overwhelmed right now. This seems a supportive place and I wish everyone well with their journey.
I’d like to hear from anyone who has a clear vacuum assisted biopsy for encouragement!
thanks
Hi GraceieR welcome to the forum . I am so very sorry to hear what has been going on for you and it does seem that there is a lot going on in short space of time which explains your sense of feeling overwhelmed and little wonder.
Im not sure if anyone will be able to offer the level of reassurance that you seek as we are all uniquely different,. so it really is a case of just waiting unfortunately. Hope that you hear soon and please do let us know how you get on. xxx
