    Hi Dawn

    Sorry you are having such a long wait, it does seems a long time, there is a two week referral to the hospital - but not sure there is a timeframe for results. Like you I found a lump under my nipple, my appointment at the hospital was the week after I saw the GP and had my mammogram and biopsy that day, going back for the results the following week, at that meeting I was given the results and a date for my op.  

    I would give them a chase.  Do you have a breast care nurse, could you give her a call to find out whats happening. Or go back to your GP.  

    Hope everything works out, let us know what happens.

    Take care

    Hi, they say no news is good news but If I were you I would call and demand an answer.  You are worried, don't wait.
