Waiting on One Stop clinic appointment

Hi flossie10101

Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you are facing a second breast cancer diagnosis. Maybe you could ring the clinic and ask to be put on the cancellation list so that if someone cancels their appointment you’ll be seen sooner. 

Wishing you the best of luck with your appointment when you have it.

Best wishes

My friend has just waited 6 weeks to be seen at one stop at Lincoln hospital, there are a lot of delays out there atm, not ideal when they should see you in 2 weeks, really sorry you’re experiencing this x

The 'two week' fast track wait is horrendous at the best of time, to have to wait 5 weeks seems so unfair and will cause you so much anxiety.  I thought, it was a given '2 weeks' no longer.  You could suggest that they aren't meeting with Government guideline, ask if there is another hospital nearby that you can go to sooner.... some hospitals are sending various types of appointments out via private hospitals.

If all this fails, if it was me, I would go private, purely to save extra stress, anxiety and its done with.  You would be able to look up the Consultant you want to see and go the hospital of your choice. 

We all think different - this is my opinion.

Do what feels right for you xxx

I can well understand your distress about the wait. You may want to contact PALS to discuss how to get a sooner appointment. www.nhs.uk/.../ 

Thanks for the advice, yet again I have got an answerphone message and they may get back to me within 3 days!

I’ve been looking at other hospitals, they all seem to be overloaded and unable to help. Answerphone messages from 2 private clinics!

Go private just for diagnosis then go back on nhs. Not worth the wait
