I've been having some imaging tests done that have picked up a large tumour on my pancreas. If it's cancerous, the survival rate is 3% :( My GP referred me to a specialist nearly 3 weeks ago; I saw someone the week after but it was the wrong consultant, since then I've heard nothing. The scans have been dragging on since the beginning of April and I'm a mental wreck. Does anyone have any experiences of how long it takes to get a proper diagnosis when cancer is in the equation?
