I’ve just finished at the clinic, now sitting having cake and coffee with my absolute star of a DH and thanking my lucky stars above that it was just cysts. I had an ultrasound which showed a 5cm cyst (how the heck I missed it I’ll never know) so they drained it and then I had another mammogram which which completely painless - what a difference from last time!
The staff were amazing and took their time with me, even when I was having a bit of a teary wobble, and I was seen quickly at every stage - the NHS is truly wonderful when it needs to be.
I’ll have a conversation about my HRT with the GP but for now I’m back on 3 yearly mammograms. I feel incredibly lucky - it’s been a time of reflection and it certainly brings things into focus.
I would like to thank you all again from the bottom of my heart for all your support, kindness and good wishes. This thread has kept me going through the last few days when I was at a bit of a low ebb - you’re all wonderful, you really are
