I mentioned in other thread that I have abnormal uterine bleeding and am post meno.
As a result I have not been able to self-check my breasts and on the odd days I have not bled I have felt a lump.
Dr Currie wants me to see GP regarding the bleeding, however, I am possibly autistic, with the attendant communication problems, (autism assessment via video link booked for 13th October) our surgery is only doing phone consultations, yet I need a GP to check my breasts for lumps.
I know I had a mammogram last year, however I have heard women find cancerous lump (I think on here) before her next mammogram, so its worth doing self-checks.
I can't because of the bleeding.
I normally see GP face to face and hand them a note with my problems on and they are happy to read it as my mind freezes when I have to talk, and phone is worse.
How am I going to
a)Get them to check my breasts for lumps as I haven't been able to self-check?
b)Tell them of my complex bleeding problems in a ten minute phone call, bearing in mind I can only cope with the simplest of things on the phone?
Here is the bleeding thread for covenience
