I found a breast lump and because I have a history of bc in my family, the NHS 2-week wait was proving to be more than I could bear. By the 3rd day, I phoned to enquire about the costs involved and how soon I could be seen. The nurse I spoke to was kind and extremely helpful. I was actually seen the next day. All my tests were carried out on that same day and to my enormous relief, my lump was a just a cyst.
Had I not been so lucky the Alex would have sent my biopsy results to my NHS consultant which would, fortunately, have just arrived in time for my original 2-week appointment, cutting down further anxious waiting time for me.
I am so glad I made the decision to visit the Alex. My consultant, the nurses and all the staff were friendly and efficient and the costs were explained before each test.
"Thank you to everyone at the Alex"
