Hello AFCornwall, 

I am sorry to hear that you found this lump over the weekend. It's great that you acted so quickly though and saw the GP straight away. I can understand why you are feeling frustrated that you can't be seen sooner - it's good though that you have a date pencilled down and that it is not too far in the future. It's a shame that they are over capacity and that you can't be added to waiting list of cancellations. Keep trying to call them daily if that's the only way to check if there have been cancellations and I hope that you can be seen sooner. 

I hope that you will hear from other ladies, perhaps some living down in the South West, who have had a similar experience. With only one clinic for the whole county, I can imagine they must be super busy and I hope that you get a cancellation and get seen very soon. If not, it won't be too long now until the 22nd - fingers tightly crossed for you!

Best wishes,
