Breast clinic referral time - Aberdeenshire

Hi, I've been referred to the breast clinic today due to a painful lump on my left breast, so far managing to stay pretty calm as my symptoms seem to point towards a cyst as the lump definitely wasn't there 3 weeks ago then I got a really sore boob 10 days ago and found the lump instantly.

The Dr wasn't concerned at all, said its very mobile and to her felt cyst like but obviously referred me to have it checked properly. She said the appointment usually comes through within 2 weeks but might be up to 4 weeks just now, so I'm just wondering if anyone in Aberdeenshire has had a referral recently and how long did it actually take?

  • Hi there 

    I was referred at the end of June and my appointment was booked for 13th July (Glasgow) but got cancelled by telephone the day before. My new appointment is for next week the 3rd August. Person I spoke to said they are really busy at the moment but still trying where they can to meet 2/4 week timescale. You sound really calm and I'm sure it's a cyst as you say.

    I'm really stressed out right now and convinced I'm not going to get good news this time around. Trying to keep occupied but it's hard.

    Let me know how it goes x

  • Hi thanks for responding I really appreciate it. Jeepers that's a long wait you've had it's only natural to worry especially when you've geared yourself up for the appointment to then have it cancelled last minute I think my emotions would be all over the place

    Hope it all goes well for you to, think positive and try to keep busy x
