First visit after biopsies

Hi Sparkleandshine 

It was the breast surgeon I saw on my first visit to hospital after my biopsies, etc. She confirmed I had breast cancer and talked me through everything. She had her diary and booked me in for surgery whilst I was with her.

Thank you so much for your reply xxx

I was told it looked like cancer during the Ultra sound and a couple of biopsies were undertaken. Three weeks later I was told by the breast surgeon the actual diagnosis and booked in for surgery five weeks later.

Hi Sparkleandshine,

The consultant who examined me and organised my ultrasound,biopsy and mammogram was also my surgeon so it was her who discussed my results with me which I really appreciated as it was the same person who seen me from the start of this journey through to discussing histo results.

Wish you luck with your results  xx

Yes it’s normal to see the breast surgeon. All the very best to you. 
I found it useful to have my questions all written down because it’s easy to just sit there slack jawed……

you might actually feel better once you know what’s what. take care , the wait is tough. 

Hi. Yes. I saw a surgeon too, when I got my results. As well as writing down my questions before I went, I also found it helpful to have my friend with me, as it’s sometimes hard to take in everything they tell you. I hope all goes well and wish you the very best. 

I saw the surgeon at the clinic when I had imaging and first biopsies, then again when called back for results, when more imaging and biopsies were ordered. She takes her cases to an MDT with oncologist, radiographer, pathologist and others to discuss and feeds back, but is lead on my case. 

Thank you all so much for your replies, I really appreciate it xxx

Hi Sparkleandshine sorry you find yourself on this group but I just wanted to say it’s a great place to find community, share experiences, ask questions. It’s certainly helped me feel less alone.

if there’s someone you can take to the appointment to take notes and help digest and remember the info they give you is recommend it, or ask the breast nurse to write it all down for you.
