WW2 Referral

Hi,

 

l saw the GP last Monday after finding a small lump in my right breast. When my letter arrived on Wednesday to call the breast clinic to make the appointment l was advised that they were dealing with a backlog due to Covid and would call me with an appointment once additional clinics had been added.

 

l absolutely understand its challenging times but how long should l wait before chasing for an appointment. My anxiety levels are through the roof.

    I know it can be a very worrying time waiting for appointments. I ceratinly don't think there is any harm in ringing and asking if they know how long it will be before the additional clinics are set up. If it's practical for you then you could also mention that you'd be happy to accept an appointment at short notice if they have a cancellation. I know that's something that has worked for members in the past. 

    I hope you don't have to wait too long. 

    Best wishes,
