Breast clinic screening

Offline Scot21 over 4 years ago

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,
Please don't worry,I was called back after a mammogram and got an appointment in Glasgow in November. ..I was very worried too.The staff are wonderful, very kind and friendly and always make sure you are at your ease
Thet will certainly take you seriously and and they do their best to make you feel comfortable .There might not be a problem,but better to get it checked out,and I'm sure the staff will be delighted if there isn't. If there is you will have everything explained to you, and told and prepared for what comes next.
Good luck!
