So I turned 50yrs old last year, which meant I would be recieveing a routine mammogram appointment -which I went to April Friday 13th- yes I know Friday 13th!!!
However over the Easter weekend I found a lump-couldn`t phone my doctors until Tuesday 3rd April, saw an out of hours doctor who basically said:
. He couldn`t feel anything
. I was doing my exams all wrong
. I had 2 choices , 2nd being leave it and see what happens!!!
Went for the routine mammogram-Friday 13th April-mentioned the lump that I had found , got a letter 18th April asking me to go back today(23rd).
So i`ve been this morning, the doctor was lovely, he found the lump straight away and did an ultra sound too, which I took a sneaky peek at-it was clear as day on the screen.
The doctor felt that it was probably a cluster of tiny cysts but he wanted to do a biopsy(absolutley go for it)-I go back for the results next Monday.
It`s very true we know our own body better than anyone else.
