A breast update

My shiny new appointment at the Breast Health Clinic was today.   It was supposed to be for the mammogram, with an unmovable appointment at the end of April for ultrasound, but I arrived to find that some angel had also rearranged the ultrasound appointment, so I settled myself down for a long wait and the usual worry that I would be forgotten - or called if I went to the loo!


The waiting room was almost empty before I heard my name, but then everything happened very quickly.  A consultant performed the ultrasound and told me - on the spot - that everything looked okay, and then I was sent for the mammogram dance: stand here, two steps to the left, one step to the right, arm above your head, lean this way, now stop breathing...


There was a brief wait while the mammogram was sent in to the consultant, who did not call me back, which apparently means no cause for concern.  And so I went home, feeling very relieved.


I'm still awaiting the official results, but it's looking good.


Finally I have to thank the consultant, radiologist, nurses and other staff for their kindness, patience and tolerance.  Today, I really felt that people cared.
