I was diagnosed with breast cancer on 12th May 2020.
It was Stage1, Grade 3 invasive ductal carcinoma and I had breast saving surgery, 6 rounds of chemotherapy and 10 rounds of radiotherapy.
I have been getting anxious about my first mammogram coming up but as I hadn't heard anything, I phoned the breast cancer nurse to be told there is a backlog of 5 - 6 months and no, it did not make any difference that I have been a cancer patient.
To be honest, I found this completely unacceptable and distressing and it has added to my anxiety. I just wanted to get this first one behind me and breathe a little easier.
Has anyone else on here got this problem or is the backlog just in my area ?
