Thickening breast tissue

Hi please can someone give me some advice

I'm worried sick I went to the gp with pain in my left breast when she examined me she said I had thickening and sent a referral I've had a letter to say I need to go to general surgery but no appointments till July when I rang.

my left breast feels much bigger and it's sore 

has any one else been through this 

thank you

    Ok I'm going to stick my neck out here and say what I would say to a close friend of relative - if you are worried try and find a way to get an appointment even consider going privately if you can.most private hospitals have a breast screening service. Or ask your GP to refer you for a mammogram. It could save you months of worry waiting. 
     

    though I am not an expert I do think there are significant delays in access to assessment just now and no one wants months of worry waiting 

     

    hope you get on ok
