My daughter who is 21 has found a lump in her breast so went to her GPS 3 weeks as yesterday, they put her on antibiotics for 10 days as they suspected an infected cyst and told her to call and see them again 2 weeks later. The lump had reduced in size so she felt relieved but when she when back another nurse told her that she no longer suspected it was a cyst as it should have disappeared completely if it was. She told her of the possibility of cancer but said it could also be a fatty lump and she would give her an urgent referral and she would be seen within 2 weeks. It is just over 2 weeks now so my daughter rang the hospital and was told they have just opened up the appointment book for next week and she would receive a letter next week for an appointment, by the time she gets that it will be almost 4 weeks. My daughter is calm about it and I am trying to be, but getting more anxious as time goes on. Is it ok to leave it for this long?
