we t to GP in Jan who referred me to breast clinic. Lump is now painful also is my underarm and arm. Received a letter yesterday and I’ve got an appointment in July. Such a long wait
I'm sorry to hear that your lump hasn't resolved and that in fact you're finding it more painful.
Although you have your clinic appointment date for July, if you've not seen your GP recently about the lump then it would be worth getting a check up. That way if your GP has concerns they can get in touch with the clinic and expedite your appointment.
Let us know how you get on. Best wishes, Jenn Cancer Chat moderator
I agree with Jenn. If you haven't seen your GP since January and you are still having problems, ask for an urgent appointment when you speak to the receptionist.
She may ask you why you need it urgently, so don't be afraid to tell her that you are having additional symptoms since you last saw your GP. Your GP can fast track your appointment, so that you can be seen at the breast clinic within two weeks.
I hope that you can get this sorted and bring your appointment forward, as it does seem a long time to wait until July.
Do please keep in touch and let us know how you are getting on.
