Have an appointment on the 22nd for the Breast Clinic. Referred by my GP as I have a lump and an area of thickening. I am 38 and have previously had cervical cancer.
I know what would happen during normal times but am wondering what to expect at the moment. As I understand it the clinic is only running a reduced service. My appointment is at 2.15pm and I am worried they won’t have time to do all the tests I might need. The lady who called to give me my appointment just told me they run a triple assessment clinic and I had to attend alone.
Has anyone been at the clinic yesterday who would share their experience?
I’m sorry you are going through this. I went to the breast clinic 2 weeks ago and had a physical assessment, ultrasound and biopsy (4 samples taken) and it took 1hr 15mins. I was told it usually takes 1hr 30mins. So they should have time to carry out all the assessments they need to on you.
I felt very safe there, had my temperature checked in the waiting room and had to wear a mask throughout.
