[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a suspicious lump. The soonest I can get a second scan and biopsy is in September.

I called another radiology company. They said they can't use the film from the first company and they are scheduling 5-8 weeks out just for a diagnostic test.

Anyone else in a similar boat? This is nuts.

Why is it nuts? You have to wait for your turn. September is only next month. [/quote]

She has a suspicious lump, PP. While most are benign, as someone with BC I can assure you that her concerns are valid. “Wait your turn?” How many threads to you s**t on daily? Do better.

Have you tried Community Radiology, OP? Also, I would call your OB to see if they can get anything expedited on your behalf.[/quote]

I'm sorry OP.  I don't think Washington Radiology would have anything (they screwed up my appointment scheduled last week and the next available they had wasn't til October), but I was able to reschedule with Fairfax Radiology.  Medstar never called me back, but maybe you'll have more luck with them. And as someone else mentioned upthread, NYC has more hospitals and may have more availability...[/quote]
