I went to my gp on the 8th of this month with a large lump in my left breast. Gp said he could also feel 'swelling' and referred me urgently to the breast clinic. I have heard no word from the hospital so phoned today and was told they received my referral on the 8th but i have yet to be allocated an appointment. I said the waiting time should be 2 weeks and i'm now over that and she said they're just not making that deadline - minimum is a 6 week wait and she could see i was 'quite far down the list'.. is there absolutely anything i can do? This seems a bit barbaric and an awful long time to wait on an URGENT referral..
