  • Hello Cathy92

    I'm sorry to hear that you're waiting on an appointment for a breast ultrasound at the moment. We know that waiting for tests can be a really worrying time and as you've recently lost your Aunty, it's understandable that you're feeling more anxious. 

    As you've now developed a rash I'd recommend getting in touch with your GP to get this looked at, particularly as you've mentioned that you do struggle with skin issues. You could also give the hospital a call and ask if the ultrasound referral has been received and when you may hear about an appointment. It may be that they're able to offer you an appointment sooner. 

    I do hope that things settle for you soon and that the scan brings some reassuring news. 

    Best wishes,
