I developed a lump behind a nipple as a result of a drug which was prescribed for my prostate (I am a man), and referral from my GP gave me a hospital appointment in about 10 days. Apart from queueing with female patients the appointment itself was very quick (a matter of minutes), and the report of no malignancy came to my GP two days later. I felt that I had been given the same treatment which a woman might have experienced. My drug was changed and the symptoms disappeared. I still have the prostate problem a few years later. I would add that I have twice had minor surgery to remove basal cell carcinomas (unfortunately they both had to be repeated). In both cases I was treated very quicklya few days after diagnosis, one of them being in a private clinic to avoid the hospital queue, but financed by the NHS.
