So frightened, 2nd year check up

Im clutching at straws here but… went for my 2 year mammo after discovering I had breast cancer and had a mastectomy. On my first appointment when I found a lump they sent me straight for a biobsy and ultrasound after my mammo as they obs saw something then through to the consultant. My last mammo screen a year after was a bit different as I saw the surgeon that day due to check up of some reconstruction and asked when Id get checked and he said you can go now if you want so he gave me the all clear afterwards.

 

Today is different as its routine, so I expected that if I was told to get dressed and Ill get the results after it was a sign nothing seen but she went on to say it didnt mean anything as she can not read results, she mearly does the screening. Now Im scared, I have my holiday on Saturday and its ruined it for me.

 

She asked me to sit in waiting room to check my results had gone through to the results room etc to be looked at , then came through to say that they had and Id hear in due course.!!! Im now paranoid because was she worried about something so wanted to point it out to them or am I reading into it. Omg I cant stand this again its sending me mad

Hi Terri,I think it’s standard procedure I have had 2 post treatment mammograms now and been told at each that results will be sent through the post ,they don’t read them on the day.Its very hard not to be paranoid though isn’t it .Im anxiously awaiting my letter now .Hope they put you out of your misery soon .Jill.

Hi Terri, no the people doing the mammogram don’t read them there and then, they are looked at by two specialists afterwards and you will receive the results by post, I’ve recently had my 2nd year all clear and had a 4 week wait for the letter! Try not to get yourself in a tizz over it, I know how hard to is but all we can do is wait, go and enjoy your holiday! Xx Jo
