I’m working when Dr Y calls unexpectedly. Oh no. She tells me the lumps are definitely not cysts so not great news. I am now referred to the Breast Clinic for a biopsy. Don’t worry she says, it’ll be ok. 

The signs are good. By this she means that I had a mammogram in August last year which was clear. My blood tests have shown no cancer markers, and the Ultrasound report has been graded low in priority. Dr Y says it may be a few weeks until I get an appointment so I’ll need to be patient (not one of my strong points). She also tells me my iron is low as is my B12. She prescribes a B12 injection and liquid iron supplement. That at least explains why I’ve felt so tired lately. Nothing to worry about and a fairly easy fix.

Breathe. It’s ok. I’m ok.
