Waiting time for referral to
Hi,
I found a lump and the GP found 2 more. I've been referred to the Galway Breast Check clinic. I've phoned them and they have my referral letter 2 weeks. GP marked it urgent. They couldn't say how untilI get my appointment. What has your experience been?
Also how long should I expect to be at the clinic the day of the appointment?

Hi,
I got my appointment. It's for 3 1/2 weeks after GP sent referral letter marked as urgent. It's probably quicker in non Covid times.
I've noticed one of the lumps has grown in this time and I found another (the size of a frozen pea). Has this happened anyone?
Hi
While I didn’t find a second lump when I had my ultrasound the doctor found another lump under my arm.
Best of luck with your tests.
Best wishes

I was seen very quickly in the Galway clinic last June 2020 like you my form was marked urgent. It was about 1 week after the referral was put in. They are absolutely fantastic there. Good luck.
Hi there i was in a similar position as you took 2 weeks for my referral appointment to the breast clinic in limerick I was there roughly 2 half hrs I was seen by a nurse for a chat and examination then sent for a mammogram, ultrasound followed by a biopsy which was all painless I am currently waiting my biopsy results Wish you the best of luck and hopefully you won't be waiting too long more
Sending hugs and prayers your way💛
