Hello all, I am new to this sight so please be gentle with me. I am a 37 year old women
I recently was referered to the breast clinic as I have a indent in my right brest which is highly visable when I raise my arm.
I attended the clinic on friday and had a mamogramm and an ultra sound. Both came back clear. However the concsultant sid he would like to discuss with his collegues if i should have a MRI. Is this normal? He sad he would contact me within two week. The waiting is unbearable. I have not as yet discussed this with any of my family, do I? and what do I tell them. I have six children do i tell them anything or do I wait until I know more?
Hi Steph, I’m sorry you’ve been left in limbo, an MRI can be more accurate in picking up certain things that can’t be seen on other imaging, younger breast tissue can be dense which makes mammograms harder to read, I know it’s awful to still be waiting on a definite answer but hang in there and hopefully they will get back to you soon, it’s always easier to share your anxiety with someone rather than try and struggle on alone, I would say it depends on your children’s ages, mine are in there 20’s but we still didn’t tell them until I knew for sure but I had support from my husband and a few close friends, I certainly couldn’t have gone through the waiting period alone xx Jo
Hi Steph, the waiting is just awful i will agree with you there, an awful lot of it goes on unfortunately! Just hang in there love and get this over with and you will know for certain what is going on, one thing that i think is actually worse than the waiting is the not knowing, you have been given the all clear so far and lets hope this will be too ?
