Changes to breast; nurse tried to refer me but doctor said wait

Just that really.

I am in a right state. Yesterday I noticed that my left breast is looking quite different at the bottom with a flattish bit and a swelling to the side. I phoned the GP and got seen tonight. The nurse had a look and feel and said she could see the change and it looked larger than other breast and decided to refer me to a breast clinic. However the computer system wouldn't allow it as I didn't fit the criteria.

She went across the hall to chat to another doctor who said given my age (39), no lump and the fact that I had a miscarriage last month it's probably hormonal and should wait and see and come back in two months.

I feel really unhappy about this. I felt like the nurse knew something wasn't right but was talked out of it by the doctor.

I'm freaking out that it's cancer and nothing will be done for months.

WWYD?
