Still waiting … 4 weeks after referral

I just wanted a space to vent really - so apologies in advance. 

My urgent referral is still ongoing and not appointment thus far - the breast clinic is saying at least 5 weeks currently for their rapid referral. 

I am on week 4 of waiting and whilst I was able to set myself on an even kilter for the first few weeks, I am feeling increasingly anxious to not even have an appointment date. 

I have called sporadically to chase and to say that whilst I am on summer break from my job, I can take any appointment anytime - to no avail. 

I am just struggling with worry today.
