Breast referral. Current waiting times in West Scotland?

Hello everyone, I have just had a referral to the breast clinic as I found a hard lump under my breast. I'm in West Scotland. I was wondering if anyone knew waiting times. The doctor has marked it as urgent but now that we've had this pandemic I don't know what to expect.  I looked through this thread but does anyone have any current experience? I'm wondering whether to pay privately (although not sure what happens if it is cancer after a private check). Thanks for your help. Sarah

    Hi,

    I have too been referred to breast clinic on 17/1/2022. I phoned x/house house last Fri and she said it is a 7-8 week wait at moment. My jaw nearly hit the floor and I honestly don't think I can wait that long. When I asked how likely that would be she said 'well you've only been waiting 4 days so who knows.'  I phoned Ross hall and I have an appointment next Fri (4th Feb). I don't particularly have the money and like you have no idea what happens if I need more treatment after but I can't wait 7-8 weeks.  Hope this helps.
