I was referred for an urgent 2 week appointment after finding a lump in my breast which I attended on Wednesday.
After the initial examination the doctor said the lump felt like a Fibroadenoma. I already have one in the same breast. She said she would refer me for an ultrasound and write to me with the results but due to a backlog this scan would be at some point in November. This seems like a long wait given I already waited 2 weeks for the first appointment and now it will be up to 2 months for a scan. She said this was due to my age (31) and that she's not concerned about the lump.
Is anyone else having to wait such a long time for a scan. I know I should take comfort that she said she's not concerned but my understanding is that they can't tell just from an examination.
I'm trying to keep calm about it all but keep panicking that by waiting such a long time it could be worse if it is cancer.
