I had private breast scan and found out there is a lump and was told to get scan in 6 months. After 6 months booked an appointment with GP, showed the picture (scan photo) to GP. Was told will be contacted soon.
In a weeks' time they said I have I cannot get referral for scan. Didn't say the reason but said if I want it to be tested keep an eye on the bus that goes round NI and book for it. That was devastating.
I have a lump in my breast, have a photo of it and can not get referral to get it scanned after 6 months. Couldn't believe it.
Tried to book with that bus and was told I am too young. Got back to GP but was told they will not give me referral. So now can't get scan. Will book private.
It is so so so sad that GP doesn't appear to care at all. I have a lump on my breast, have a photo of it. So it is not fake. But just can't believe that I was refused. Feel absolutely devastated. I might have cancer but GP just doesn't seem to care.
