Armpit Lump/ breast rash

Hello, don’t ever thing anything sounds silly. You are doing the right thing and getting checked out. Don’t know where in the UK you are based but when I was referred for an urgent mammogram it took about 3 weeks to come through - I’m in Surrey. Hoping you hear soon. 

Thank you so much for your reply! Hopefully it'll be in the next week! I just want an answer and I'm sure everyone's the same at this stage.x

Ring them. The same thing happened to me and they gave me an appointment almost straight away after I rang them. Good luck. 

Hi

 Definitely ring them. I had a 2 week urgent referral and rang them and asked if there were any cancellations please could I be considered - they found me an appointment the following day. I had to wait 2 weeks for the biopsy results though - which was hell. Good luck 

Lovely doctor - not.  Well done for getting a referral.  You can ring breast clinic to see where you are on list.  Xx

Hi Rach1715 , you don’t come over as impatient at all, just rightly concerned to find out some answers! I agree with others who suggest phoning the clinic, at least then you’ll know you’re on the list and may even get a cancellation. Your GP sounds a bit dismissive tbh. It’s great that he’s done the genetics referral in the long term but given how long that all takes, he should have referred you to the breast clinic straight away as well anyway! Hope you get an appointment very soon so that you know what you’re dealing with. Most lumps and bumps turn out to be benign but all should be checked out. Love and hugs, HFxx
