Found a lump and can’t get a docs appointment

Hi everyone.

I found a lump in my breast a few days ago and I have rang my doctors every morning and can't get an appoinment. By the time I actually get through all the appointments are gone. I have told the receptionist what I'd like the appoinment for on hope they could squeeze me in but no. She told me to try my local walk in centre which actually isn't a walk in centre anymore and have to ring for appointments and the same thing fully booked.

Im 40 this year and my mum had breast cancer when she was 41. I'm trying not to worry or stress as I know a lump could be many different things. But the longer I have to wait the more I'm starting to worry.  What should I do? If I can't get an appoinment tomorrow again then I have to wait all over weekend x

  • When you ring ask them to put your name on the triage list , say what you are worried about and a dr should ring you back usually within the hour they can decide if they want to examine you or just refer you to the Breast clinic for a scan, l hope you have more success making the appointment. 
    take care
