Hi I have been refered to a breast clinic and have been waiting 1 week and have had no appointment yet. Has anyone else waited as I have heard people normally get the appointment letter quickly.
My appointment took 24 days. I think it depends on the hospital. It was an agonising waiting period especially as my GP told me to expect a cancer diagnosis after he was informed of the abnormality found on the CT scan - which,incidentally, was for a lesion in the right lung! Try not to worry. I understand that time from referral is now usually at least three weeks. Until last October it was supposed to be two weeks but of course there is a large backlog at many hospitals. You should be getting a letter soon or possibly a phone call. My letter was dated 15th March but the appointment took place on 9th April. The consultant told me I had cancer but the type and stage will be revealed next week (ten days' time) because he is waiting for the biopsy report.
