Hi @Vix1963 the waiting is the worst , isn’t it? I had my original mammogram in November 2019 then the call back to have all the tests in December and 3 days later received the results. That day my gp went on holidays before I was able to get to see him for a referral to the hospital ( Frankston) and as he was working on his own there was no other doctor I could see. So I was in limbo for the 2 week Christmas period , wondering what to do next, scared s##tless if it was growing or how long till I would see a surgeon. Finally had an appointment with a surgeon at the hospital in January and surgery about a month later.
The staff at Frankston were lovely, Rhonda the breast care nurse I saw is great too.
Maybe you could give the Olivia Newton John centre a call to see if they can give you an idea how long you might be waiting?
Sometimes we need to be our own advocate.
