Hi all,  sorry if it sounds like I am moaning I really don't mean to sound selfish I just needed a place to vent my frustration xx 

Three weeks ago I found a lump in my breast,  I saw my gp who due to how it felt and my family history he requested an urgent referral to be seen asap.  A week went by and nothing so I called my GP again and he called them again, within a few hours the hospital called to make an appointment but not until the 10th June.   I contacted my gp to let him know but he wasn't happy with the length of time and he called them again to expedite my appointment.   Another week went by and nothing so I called my GP again and he called them again.   Apparently I am to accept the hospitals sincere apologies but the waiting time for urgent referrals is around 6 weeks at my hospital.   I'm not knocking the Welsh nhs,  I work in the sector and I know how stretched our resources are but if I lived in England I would have been seen and had my results back by now! 

I really am sorry for sounding whiny, I'm just feeling tired from being strong and positive and I still have 2 weeks more to wait.  I don't know how much longer  can stay strong for, I must admit I've had a little cry for the first time this evening.   It's just so hard having to wait such a long time xxx I hope you all understand my need to vent xxxx
