Hi everyone, I posted a few days ago about it being 4 weeks since my referral and still having not heard anything...... I've been ringing my Drs and the breast clinic and not getting to speak to anyone, nobody was replying to messages or able to put me through to someone who could answer my questions. Yesterday someone finally got back to me and told me there's an 8 week minimum wait time, I told her I was referred as urgent and she said that is the urgent wait time because of covid..... I was gutted my heart sank and I couldn't speak really. 8 weeks takes me to Christmas so I imaging the wait will be more 10+ because of Christmas and new year and the thought of waiting until January....well... it just seems impossible.
I decided to go private and started ringing around and I was again left gobsmacked when the first appointment I can get is the 7th of January, one hospital told me to ring every day to see if there had been a cancellation and that's completely not practical.
Im just feeling really upset at the moment, I cant believe they would expect people to wait 8+ weeks to find out if they have cancer, my GP said that it's highly suspicious and she wants me to be seen quickly and know I'm sitting driving myself mad.
Sorry to vent on here but I thought if anyone could understand my frustration it would be you guys x
