2 week urgent suspected cancer pathway

Hi, i have been referred for urgent suspected cancer to gynae and urology. 

Ultrasound showed 10cm tumour on kidney and complex cyst on ovary.

I want to phone the hospital departments and check they have hsd the referrals. 

Is this wise or will they just get fed up.

Ultrasound was done privately so they wrote to my GP

    I have had complex ovarian cysts they were removed recently the operation was a bit difficult due to adhesions from previous surgery. The oncology surgeon was great and spent 4 1/2+ hours removing the adhesions she said other surgeons would have bailed out and left them in situ. I had left sided pain and they were found during a colonoscopy. My referral was from colorectal to gynaecology oncology and was within two weeks.

    l hope you have your appointment soon. 
    take care
