Breast clinic referral wait times?

Hi everyone, 

First post been lurking for a few weeks since finding a lump.

Went to the GP 24th December back today and been referred over to the breast clinic. 2 lumps both right breast, 1 2cm semi mobile, round, smooth and hard, 2nd lump pea sized, immobile and hard, I am 40 with history of breast cancer in both grandparents. My question is with pandemic has this impacted your referral times? GP advised if I have not heard by end of January chase up. I am not particularly worried just now and keeping a level head but the possible delay in getting some peice of mind is having an impact. I am in the Grampian area.

  • Hello Jane and welcome to the forum.

    Unfortunately the pandemic does seem to be impacting on referral times but the length of the delay will differ depending on what part of the country you're in.

    Hopefully some of our members in the same area as you will share their waiting times but fingers crossed you'll hear something from the breast clinic soon.

    Stay safe and good luck with your referral. You can find out what may happen at your appointment just here.

    All the best,
