Just saw my GP today and am waiting for a referral to the breast clinic. I have read about NICE and SIGN guidelines but when I looked up SIGN it seemed to only be about cervical cancer. i am in Scotland - any idea how long I should have to wait for the breast clinic? Trying not to get anxious but, as you all know, it’s that waiting…
Thanks

Hi Cazzah,

Attended my GP yesterday and I’m waiting for a referral to Glasgow Royal Infirmary breast clinic and was told by my GP it would be a couple of weeks.
Worried sick also and would like to know how long it will be.
Can anybody help ?

Hi Cazzah

I’m in scotland too - you can see a leaflet version of the Sign guidelines at

sign.ac.uk/pdf/qrg84.pdf

For the full SIGN 84 guideline you need the following link

sign.ac.uk/pdf/sign84.pdf

Hope this helps - and hope I’m allowed to post the link? Good luck with the referral. If the link is removed by the moderator (because I’m not sure what is allowed) - google ‘breast cancer scotland Sign guideline’ and you should get it.
