As some of you know I was given the all clear on Tuesday gone, lump turned out to be cysts.
This morning I received a letter from the hospital asking me to phone them to arrange a further mammo, ultrasound and possible FNA.
I’m confused, on Tuesday I was told I had nothing to worry about, the ultrasound lady in her words said “you have one humungous cyst in there and 7 smaller ones but they are harmless”, the con looked me in the eyes and said “good news, you have multiple cysts and they are nothing to worry about” although she did look a little concerned when she asked if the large one had been aspirated and I said no.
Why would they want me to go back if they both told me what I have is harmless?
On top of that, believe it or not I received a letter from my GP today too asking me to make an app to discuss some blood test results that have just come back.
hi there Debbi - yes . aaarrrgghhh!
Although I expect it is nothing to be concerned about - as you said, your consultant was surprised they haven’t aspirated the cyst, so I suspect that this is what this appointment is all about. Draining the cyst off and checking it’s all gone. Your blood test at the GP may have just shown a little anaemia or something - not a big thing at all, just seems suspect all in the same week!
Hope you get your appointments soon and are able to lay this at rest.

There is no wonder you are confused, talk about putting you through the mill, maybe they are just making double sure and want to aspirate the large cyst.
I really hope that you get this all cleared up soon and can only wish you the best of luck with the new appointment.
So sorry you have to join us again here.
Hugs

Oh dear what a nightmare. I have something similar but not quite so much. Rang clinic to find out results of mammo and con said "essentially normal but a bit where one breast is a little more dense than it was last time. I said did he think it was anything to worry about and he said that no he didn’t but wanted further mammos and an ultrasound. If he doesn’t think it is anything to worry about then why!!! I sometimes think they have absolutely no idea what they put us through.
You’re probably right folks, maybe the con thinks the large cyst should have been drained, she did have a funny look on her face when I told her it hadn’t been aspirated after coming back from the US, I just don’t understand why they want me to have another mammo and US so soon, still, I’m going to try not to worry, I’ve done enough of that lately and frankly I start to do my own head in eventually lol, anyway I’ll phone Monday morning and see how soon they can get me in, hopefully it won’t be too long a wait.
Well, rang the docs, have an app at 2.40 this afternoon, not too bothered about that, rang breast clinic and have an app for Thurs at 12.30, slightly bothered about that one but hey, whatever will be and all that, will let you lovely ladies know how it goes.
Well, back from docs, I’m going through the blinkin’ menopause at 41, she’s put me on HRT but I must keep a very close eye on the cysts that were found last week, just incase the treatment irritates or causes them to enlarge.
Asked her if she had any idea why I’d been called back to the clinic but of course she said no.
