2ww Breast Cancer referral

Hi 

Last Monday I saw my GP re my breasts who felt 2 lumps in my right breast and 1 area of thickening in my left so she made a referral via the 2 week pathway. 

It's been a week so far  so I rang and they said they are still booking in the week before last so I'll get a call by the end of the week. 

So I think I wrongly assumed I would be seen within 2 weeks. Have we got any idea of how long realistically until I would be seen as it's started to stress me out. I'm wondering if it would be worth me paying private

I would appreciate any advice

  • Sorry to jump on your post, it’s such a worrying time and this makes me worry more!!! I saw my gp, who made the referral and I was contacted the following morning with an appointment

    My appointment is just over a week away. I wonder if it’s based on level of concern or perhaps just how busy that area and particular clinic are?
