Hey everyone,
I visited the Buckinghamshire One Stop Shop yesterday and was really impressed with the service. I initially went in for a lump in my left breast, which turned out to be just tissue. However, the mammogram revealed two lumps in my right breast, measuring 2.5cm and 1cm. The physician associate mentioned they could be fibroadenomas or phyllodes tumors due to my history (as had these 13 years ago ), but I wasn’t informed about the lumps during the mammogram; I only found out during the ultrasound. A biopsy has been done, and I’m awaiting further information.
I logged in today on the NHS app and saw that my status has been updated to "Awaiting Surgery," with a wait time of 6 weeks. This is quite surprising since I haven’t even received my test results yet! My telephone appointment to get my results is 28 March.
While I understand that the NHS is doing its best to manage waiting times and streamline processes, it’s a bit unsettling to see this update before knowing what’s actually going on with my health. I’m trying to stay positive and hopeful, but I can't help but feel a bit anxious about the uncertainty.
Has anyone else experienced a similar situation? How did you cope with the waiting period? I’d love to hear your thoughts and any tips you might have!
