My daughters gp put in an urgent referral to the breast team and was told she would be seen within 2 weeks. One breast has a large lump that has caused the breast to double in size with nipple discharge and enlarged nodes under arm. The other breast has 3 distinct lumps that are growing as I compose this email.
We are now being told without any examination that she will have to wait 12 weeks !!!!!
Frankly this disgusts us and as a family we are very concerned not only about our daughters physical health but her mental health also.
I myself was seen last year in December within 4 weeks as a non urgent referral.
My daughter is 23 she has her whole life ahead of her and as a single parent is the main stability in her child's life.
I know so many other mums who have lost their young daughters to this disease, I don’t want my daughter too be another one.
I urge that something is done ASAP for my daughter before it is too late.
