Few weeks ago I found a lump at right rib cage so have been waiting to go for an ultrasound for last few weeks but called hospital other day and was told would be another 6 -8 weeks wait even for an emergency one I have lost a lot of weight as I have lost my appetite and always feel sick iv had enough of my doctor’s just ignoring my concerns so I’m thinking about going for a private ultrasound but does anyone know roughly much these are as can’t wait any longer as I’m so worried about my symptoms as just getting worse .Thanks

Any update, Davier?
I’ve been waiting 8 weeks and counting now for an ultrasound after I went to my GP with a lump. I’m going to ring the hospital tomorrow. I know they’re probably extremely busy but it’s not something I really want to just sit and wait around for.
As for going private, I considered it already but in the event I need treatment I’d probably still have to go via the NHS anyway.

From my experience its not been that much quicker. I had to get my gp to do a referral snd then had to see a gastro consultant who then decided that I should get CT scan. Fortunately they did my scan as an urgent one due to some of my symptoms, so I only waited a week after seeing the consultant, so it took about 4 weeks in total. I hadn’t ct scan today and takes week for results, although I’m expecting bad news so I think I will get a call sooner than that.
good luck
