I was referred to the breast clinic on 23rd Dec. I waited 2 months to get my appt letter. My appointment is on Tuesday, so that is 12 weeks all in I have waited to be seen.
Today I have received a letter, dated yesterdays date, for an ultrasound scan tomorrow morning, prior to my breast clinic appt on Tuesday!
I am so angry, why have I only just been sent a letter for an appointment thats sooner than my actual scheduled appointment and why only the day before. Im sure most of you can understand how anxious I am, but I cant go to this appointment tomorrow, as much as I want to go.
I just don’t understand how I can wait 12 weeks for an appointment, and then get another letter the day before a separate appoinment. So annoyed, and just needed to vent with others.
so sorry you had to go through such a long wait, and all this hassle. you’ll probably see from my posts i was told id have to wait 8 weeks which i thought was bad enough considering allnon urgents are meant to be seen within 4 weeks anyways. thats really stupid that they sent a seperate letter, i mean normally u have your appt at the clinic and they do ultrasounds and anything when your there! you’ll have to ring them and say. im trying to get details of who to complain to about women having to wait so long. hang in there! hopefully they can rearrange it quickly. x
Hi carol
I feel your frustration, esp at a time when the stress levels are really high. But, for your own good you need to calm down, and explain to them about your long wait and the really short notice to do the ultrasound. Last thing you want to do is wind them up as that will affect their attitude towards you. Human nature I guess! I suppose the idea was if you see the doctor after the test, then he can give you the results and send you for further tests if necessary. Good luck with whatever test they do and keep us posted.
Hang in there.
