My niece who is only 22, is waiting for a MRI guided biopsy, she has been waiting since December despite being on the fast track list. The lump which is 8mm and on her chest wall, was spotted on a CT scan in October for something else. She was referred to a hospital in Leeds for this as the hospital in Sheffield where she lives doesn't have a machine, but their machine is broken & has been for sometime, which is unbelievable. She gets a weekly call to update her, they said they would look for another area, that was in January! I am going to start advocating for her now as I feel she isn't being dealt with properly. You can imagine what this is doing to her mental health. Can anyone offer any advice? Anyone know where there are any other machines that we could enquire about? Thank you.
