Hello MAMC, 

I am sorry to hear you have been feeling anxious about waiting times after being referred to the breast clinic. It's good you flagged this pea sized lump on your left breast with your GP and our website has useful information on the breast clinic referral process with a sub section related to what happens in Scotland. It mentions that waiting times might be slightly different depending on where you live in the UK so it might be worth getting in touch with the hospital or your GP and asking them whether they can give you an estimate as to what the waiting times currently are. 

I've also slightly edited your title to include the words 'for breast clinic in Scotland' so that other members of our community who live in Scotland might spot your post more easily and tell you more based on their personal stories or experiences. 

I hope that you won't have to wait too long to be seen - in the meantime, I thought I would share with you these handy tips to help you cope while waiting for important news. 

Everything crossed for you that you get an appointment very soon and that it all turns out to be fine. 

Best wishes,
