How long will I be seen from date of urgent referral for suspected thyroid cancer?
Hi you are usually seen within 2 weeks from referral date. Hopefully not too long of a wait for you. I know it's difficult to focus as the waiting can be difficult x
Two weeks for urgent refferal to cancer clinics they are great when they see you and can explain how and what is next. Maybe write down a few questions so you don't forget it is easy to sit and not remember what you are worried about. You usually remember in the car going home, or take someone with you.
Hope all goes well
Hello Sammy1978 and thanks for posting,
In England an urgent cancer referral usually means being seen within 2 weeks, but this can depend on which home nation you live in. Take a look at the information on our website at the links below

I am not sure when the referral was made, but if you think you should have received an appointment by now, query it with your GP.
Best wishes,
Julia
