On 4th October I had my first routine mammogram after reaching my 50th Birthday. I went, had it done, left and thought no more about it. On 12th October I received a letter to go for a further assessment. I went for that assessment today and was floored when shown my mammogram by the Doctor. There was a very clear, very large white blob on my X-ray. I had a scan and the mass was measured at 62mm, 2 deep tissue samples taken and a tissue marker inserted. The doctor told me that she was certain I have a cancer in my breast. I know have to wait until 23rd for confirmation and my appointment to see a surgeon on the 25th. How can the Doctor be sure before my sample has been sent to pathology. I just can't get my head around it all
