<p>4 weeksand numerous tests later and STILL not having seen anyone I asked my GP to refer me elsewhere. I now have very high blood pressure and dizziness which I now have medication for but am terrified of what I am going to have to face and what the future holds for me,</p>
<p>Not getting any answers has made an awful situation worse!</p>
<p>Basically I have 2 huge masses( the size of a small orange) in my left breast which increase in size by the day but for me Thursday and seeing the new consultant seem an age away.</p>
<p>Has anyone else has these kind of experiences and do you eventually get better treatment?</p>
<p>Input apppreciated!</p>
