2 referrals and 8 weeks later I've been told there will be a 10 week delay

In early July, I found a lump in my underarm and went to GP 2 weeks later. She referred me to Aberdeen and said I'd have appt in 2-3weeks. After 3 weeks and no word I called my GP who advised me that Aberdeen had written back that they weren't overly worried about my lump(having not seen it) and to return to GP on 17th Aug. I returned and seen a different GP who referred me again as I now have a large rash over my breast... Lump has moved and I can't feel it any longer, is it hiding or has it dissipated? Another 3 weeks pass with no word and I call GP for update to be told Aberdeen have said there's a 10 week delay on appts. I'm hoping it's nothing to worry about as Aberdeen obviously not concerned but very aware they haven't seen me, 2 GP's have referred me after seeing me and examining me and stating a suspected cancer... Why do I have to wait so long, by the time I'm seen it'll be about 18 weeks since I felt the lump, is this a normal wait time?

  • Yes you can have initial tests private then if anything is found they can transfer you to nhs I stayed private as I had a private medical insurance x no it’s not very expensive at all you would be suprised it’s not worth worrying your health is more important than any cost or worry if you are able to afford it hun xx
