My Daughter is mid 30's, a couple of years ago she had to have a procedure be completed that destroyed cells after a smear test showed a possible problem if left. More recently she's had a lot of pain and swelling between her clavicle & breast, at this same time her menstrual cycle is all over the place, & she noticed a small swelling in her neck, Her GP told her they didn't think there was any concern but would do an ultrasound on her lower tummy, & neck along with a fast referral for a mammogram. She got the apts for the ultrasounds and was told they'd keep an eye on her neck but weren't overly concerned & her lower tummy was fine, but she was not given the mammogram instead she received a phone call from the dept when she was asked a couple of questions & told she did not need a mammogram. I was very perplexed by this and encouraged her not too accept this and inform her GP of the call along with insisting on the test, but she is not me!! Today she advised me that the node which was examined has infact gotten larger, she's no pain in her neck just the swelling, this has been going on now months. I do panic when its my Children, g children . A NYONE with any guidance or help with what her next step should be too ensure the NHS provide her with a thorough full body scan , it would be gratefully received. The thought that she could end up another missed diagnosis, late diagnosis is too much to consider!!
many thanks
