I am new to all of this and feel like I am losing my grip. I have been fast tracked by my GP and my C125 levels were really high. I've had 2 gynae appointments booked but both got cancelled with no explanation. Generally the waiting time should be 2 weeks but it's been over 6 weeks now! Tried to contact my GP again and first appointment I can get is in Jan 2026! I am freaking out and just need to get the test to see if I actually do have cancer or not? It's tearing me apart. Has anyone got similar experiences or ANY advice? Having private medical cover is not belong either as I still need them to refer me but not getting that through to anyone! Thanks for taking the time to read this

Hi. I can’t help with your condition but I can say that very often you can self refer and if there is anything suspicious the consultant will usually move you to their NHS list.
