Questions to ask at Triple Assessment

Last reply: 29 November 2024 22:16

Hello all you lovely strong people,
I've found a lump and have been referred to Beaumont breast clinic for a triple assessment.
Just wondering if there are questions you wished you asked at initial assessment?
Staying positive as statically the odds are in my favour but want to be prepared too.
Thanks a mil x

Hi francesM,

I am sorry to hear that you have found a lump in your breast – I know this must be a really worrying time for you. I really hope you get some replies from other ladies to your question. 

It is important to remember that 9 out of 10 breast lumps are harmless. But is always advisable to check all changes in our breasts.

Our link here has more information -  Diagnosing breast cancer | Irish Cancer Society

If you would like to talk things through with one of our Cancer Nurses, we are here Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 1800 200 700. We would love to hear from you. 

Kind regards

Cancer Nurse
