Hi all, new here. Found a lump. Saw Dr, referred for 2ww. Got phone call from clinic with my appointment for this Thursday however I was told that my appointment was for 30 minutes. I was under impression it would be longer. Would anyone mind sharing what they were told vs how long their appointment actually lasted. Thank you xx

  • Hi. Sorry you find yourself here.

    I think it all depends, it’s flexible timing.

    The breast clinic here schedules 30 minute initial appointments.
    I guess the luckiest are seen and on their way after their 30 minutes slot.

    My 30 minutes lasted hours, probably 20 minutes with consultant, then waiting for and having mammograms, then waiting for and having ultrasound and biopsies, then another 20 minutes with consultant.

    I hope it all goes well for you on Thursday. Hugs xx
