Just come back from a very frustrating appointment at the breast clinic. My GP had referred me, as I have a lump which she says is probably a cyst but she wanted to be sure. They were running really late, and by the time I got seen it was nearly 5pm. I saw a junior doctor who couldn’t feel anything, but then saw a registrar who said there is definitely something “nodular” there and she tried to get me a mammogram then and there (though she said I’m too young really as only 42) but the radiologist had gone home for the day 
I’m now back in the appointment system and they said probably 2-4 weeks before I will get seen again for a mammogram. And then after that another 2 weeks to see a doctor again. Which will be nearly 2 months since I saw my GP initially.
Not sure what to think TBH - presumably if they thought it was urgent they would have got me scanned ASAP? Or is this just the system? Do I just try to chill out and assume all is fine, or should I try to beg/borrow/steal the money for a private mammogram? I’ve no significant family history so guess that makes me low priority?
Any advice hugely welcomed.
Thanks!
