Sorry, another question

My referral to breast clinic is next Thursday. At Epping if that helps with experience.

My hubby is coming with me.

Can someone “walk” me through it? What order do things happen? What does hubby do while im in having all these things done?

Appreciate you all. :purple_heart:

@purplemist79 Hi for the triple assessment you will first see a consultant who will examine you and ask you a series of questions.

I then went straight for a mammogram followed by an ultra sound, I had biopsy samples taken at this point.

I then went back in to the consultant who talked me through when I would get my results. My husband came in at this point.

Hope this helps xx

Similar to @titch1 . If I’d had my husband with me he could have been in the room for the initial consult and examination. I had to wait in waiting room for mammogram & again for ultrasound. I’d have appreciated someone then as I needed to toilet but didn’t want to miss being called. I had to come back next day for biopsy as my appointment ran late & that person had left by the time they knew I needed one.

@purplemist79 You’re in great hands at Epping - they are truly wonderful and I had the absolute best care there 3 years ago. (Ongoing).
Exactly as @titch1 said, I had a lengthy chat with a breast specialist who then examined me. I was then sent for a mammogram, ultrasound and then I had biopsies. Back to see the specialist who went through everything again, and said my results would be back in 2-3 weeks. He was incredibly kind. My results appointment was 3 weeks later, where I saw the specialist again, together with my assigned breast care nurse.
My husband was with me at both appointments, but not present during the examinations, mammograms or ultrasound.
You can 100% trust that they will be very thorough and won’t leave a stone unturned.
I really hope they don’t find anything suspicious - wishing you lots of luck and sending hugs xx :hugs:

Amazing! Thank you so much. I think im worried about hubby sitting there by himself for hours…worrying about me. :worried:

To be honest, the mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy were pretty quick. Your husband will be with you while you’re waiting, and he’ll be with you when you’re speaking with specialist/ consultant, so he won’t be hanging around on his own that much :blush:
Please let us know how you get on. Take care xx
