Awaiting breast clinic appointment. Anyone else?

Hi, iv been referred for a one stop breast clinic appointment after a ct  scan showed i have 3cm growth on my left breast. I had no idea it was there i  am currently waiting for someone to ring me with an appointment. Which is taking a lifetime.

 

Iv been reading some posts on here and everyone I so lovely supportive of each other, i really dont want to worry my family anymore than i already have, with my fears etc. I was wondering if anyone here is going through the same thing or is currently on their wait and would like to chat.

  • Me too. Found a huge lump recently and have the one stop appointment this week. Totally dreading it. Hope they ring soon - it should be fairly quick It does help just to know you're not alone going through all this 

  • Hi maci.  Hope your doing ok today. Did they tell you your appointment was going to be this week? I rang this morning and they told me iv been put on a waiting list and it's 3-6 weeks long atm. I was sure I'd been seen within the two weeks (one of which is up already) as I was referred urgently by consultant. Was really hoping I would be seen this week aswell ..  

    What about your lump is it movable? I find it hard to tell if mine is moving or not. Mine is in my left breast. In the last 2 days I'm pretty sure iv felt another in my right breast also. Was hoping I'd have this confirmed this week but now its looking like weeks of more uncertainty

    Hi Minnie,

    I am sorry to hear about this delay, as every day feels like a lifetime at this stage. Why not phone your surgeon's secretary and say that you are prepared to take any cancellations that come up?  Some clinics are experiencing a lot of cancellations, due to Covid amd they are glad to be able to fill these up at short notice.

    Kind regards,

  • Hi Minnie

    Like you I find it hard to tell if lump is moveable or not. I just feel it is huge and that can't be good. Yes I was referred on the 2ww and I got a call last week about the appointment. Can't understand this 3-6 week wait for you-  that would be putting me off my head. Can you speak to the consultant? ?? I got a cancellation so check you are on that list 

  • Consultants secretary is off till 23 March  now so can't get through.   I'll try to ring my gp 2moro see if she can help. Keep u posted xx
