Ultrasound & biopsies, 3rd time lucky

Moral of the story is your gut instinct is always right.

As I feared, the set of biopsies taken were not strong enough, meaning my consultant is sending me back again for more.

Every little lump needed to be tested. This had devastating consequences.

And so, after waiting over 5 long months since making that first phone call to my GP, to finally be given a surgery date of the 27th May for it to then be taken away and postponed due to negligence was hugely frustrating.

Feeling my first real sense of anger, with the lack of effort by simply doing a more thorough job, in such a time sensitive situation, this could have easily been avoided.

To be constantly taking steps backwards is emotionally draining.

Kent & Canterbury Hospital

For the 3rd time I was sat back in that ultrasound room

This time at the crack of dawn on a Sunday morning at 7am.

Here we are again. Third time lucky. Now back with my very first consultant, what a huge relief! This was an intense appointment, as she proceeded with 3 injections of anaesthetic, taking a further 3 biopsies. Followed by putting in 5 more little coils to help my surgeon further down the line. Feeling sore and my poor boob covered in tiny little puncture wounds, but knowing it would all be worth it if we could finally move forward...
