​Hi

​This is a very anxious time for you.St James' symptomatic Breast Clinic are seeing their urgent referrals at the moment.We would expect that you will receive a call from their triage nurse arranging your appointment and checking  that you do not have symptoms of the corona virus.You can phone their Breast care manager at the breast clinic there if you would like this reassurance.

You can also phone our Nurseline at 1800 200 700,leave your phone number and we will phone you back and discuss our new arrangements for counselling.

You might find the following link helpful too during this anxious time https://www2.hse.ie/wellbeing/mental-health/minding-your-mental-health-during-the-coronavirus-outbreak.html

Kind regards

Thanks for the reply. So they will ring me on the phone. I'm gone out of my mind. Like everyone else. Such a worrying time for everyone and health professionals.
Thanks once again.
