2ww... how long really?

I was called by my GP today 24 hours after having abdo/pelvis USS for abnormal bleeding.

She said she is referring me for 2ww for gynaecology due to USS findings. 

Also, that I need a 2ww referral to urology as they found a complex cyst on my kidney.

In reality, how long a wait should I expect? Are people being seen within 2 weeks? Receiving appointments within 2 weeks? Or is is potentially weeks/months due to backlogs etc?

  • I had a 2ww to urology because I had a tumour found on my kidney, I was nervous as hell and keep ringing urology to see if they had an appointment for me yet and they kept telling me no! In the end I got a letter through the post telling me I had a telephone consultation which was dated exactly 2 weeks since my referral. And this was during early covid so you'd probably get face to face appointment now, but thankfully they told me on the phone that it was a benign tumour called a angiomyolipoma but I'd need 6 monthly scans because they can grow and burst and you'd bleed to death. I'm actually not even being monitored now because all my 6 monthly scans shown it hasn't grown at all and it's only 8mm. Also from that same first scan I was told they had found something on my gallbladder and also both ovaries so I was also referred to gyne. Turns out I have endometriomas on both ovarys and had to have one ovary removed. 

    Hope this helps a bit
