Wait for breast cancer screening

Hi all. Does anybody know what the latest wait times are for a breast cancer screen after GP referral?

I found a small bean shaped under my nipppe on Monday and had a GP app today where there have referred me. I am only 25 with no family history so she doesn't think I'm at risk but has put me on a urgent referral.

are the NHS still meeting the 2 week wait?

Hi there!!
I have also been referred by my doctor to the hospital for a ultrasound of my right breast as I found a small round hard ball , because I am only 17 and have no family history I am not put down as urgent! Not to mention all of the coronavirus issues as well.

the wait is killing me I am so anxious

I went to my GP on Monday with a breast lump. I got my appointment today through the post for next week. Hope you both won't be waiting long.

Oh no, thinking of you! Waiting is so hard, I just want a date so I can find out what it is and move on. Supposed to be starting IVF next week and now I don't know what to do :confused:
