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.

  • Wow, seven to eight weeks. I'm sorry it's like that for you. Maybe keep phoning? But if you do go private it will be peace of mind. Thanks for letting me know your process.
