Lymph node biopsy private cost?

Hi there

I went to the GP yesterday and I've been referred for a biopsy to see if I could have lymphoma. 

I've been told in my area (Kensington) that the wait time for an appointment could be up to 6 weeks. 

Does anyone know a rough cost if I was to go private! I don't mind travelling for it.

  • I’m going tommorow. I can let you know a definite price tommorow. I’m in South Wales though.  I believe it’s going to cost me £500 for consultation & mammogram/ ultrasound depending what’s required.  I believe a biopsy is £600 on top but I guess this would be more in London 

  • Hi, me and my partner are going through the same issues. We’ve gone through multiple gps and have had 3 emergency cancer referrals. GPs and medical scan technicians note the indication of lymphoma within written reports after ruling out all other possible explanations, but the consultants argue that there is nothing further to be done as there is no risk to loss of life, yet. Urgently looking for a privately solutions as the only definitive tests left to be done are lymphoma biopsy and an ultrasound. Please advise on which private companies you used, so we can make enquiries and organise the best financial direction. Many thanks. Hope everyone is ok. Your not alone, well wishes
