Hi everyone - feeling really anxious. I went to the doctors Thursday as I had found a lump in my breast the day before. As I expected he said I would need to be referred for an urgent assessment. I knew it would be a 2 week wait and the doctor said that if I hadn't hear anything by yesterday to ring the breast clinic.
I had a really busy day at work and came home and called the clinic as I hadn't heard anything at that point. Spoke to a lovely lady over the phone to be told it will be 5 - 6 weeks for an appointment due to the backlogs. She was very apologetic and quite frankly angry as I was the 4th patient who she has spoken in about 20 minutes and had to tell them the same thing. The 2 week wait is a 5 -6 weeks. Is anyone else having the same wait? I'm worried that if I do need treatment then things could be much worse in 6 weeks time compared to now.
