  • Hello cryed

    I'm sorry to hear about your Mum's diagnosis and that things seem to have progressed since her appointment in June. It's understandable that you're feeling upset and anxious about what the next steps may be for her. 

    I wonder if you might find it helpful to chat things through with one of our team of nruses ahead of your Mum's next appointment. I'm sure they will be able to offer some information and advice as well as help you think about points you and your Mum may want to raise with the Consultant. If you'd like to speak with them then do give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.

    With regards to the bleeding that your Mum is experiencing, do get in touch with the breast care nurse at the clinic as they will be best placed to offer some advice about managing this, arranging any medication or dressings your Mum may need, or a further appointment if necessary. 

    I do hope that the biopsy brings some positive news for you both. 

    Best wishes,
