Breast clinic screening

Scot21

Hi, 

I have found a lump in my breast which my GP felt and confirmed was around 4-5cm. Gp done an urgent referral for a mammogram. 

Can someone give me an idea on how long the wait time is for this in the west of Scotland. The gp said 7-10 days for an appt? 

Also I'm 28, worried I won't be taken seriously when I attend the clinic for a mammogram due to my age?

    Hi Scot21,

    I am in the same position as you. I saw a GP Thursday and received a call this morning to book an appointment for 10th March. The primary reason for me posting is to suggest that when you get your appointment you ask (or if via letter call to ask) to be added to the cancellations list. I was advised to do this by someone on this forum and I did so today. Remarkably, they called me a couple of hours later to book me in for a cancellation that popped up tomorrow!

    Best of luck xx
