I am currently trying to support a friend who has an abnormal mammogram. She has a mass that requires further screening with another mammo/ultrasound and cannot find anybody in King County that has openings before 1-4 months out.
My friend is an emotional wreck rn and is trying to deal with it on her own. She lost her husband to pancreatic cancer two years ago, so I’m trying to help her navigate all this.
I called multiple Swedish locations for her and was told they don’t have openings even for recalls/further diagnostics until July.
(My friend was told that Rayus locations might have availability, but they were not recommended by her PCP.)
Any radiologists/techs out there that can shed some light on this shortage of resources/appointments? I’ve been told it’s because there are not enough Techs right now.
If you happen to know any places that have openings sooner than six weeks+ out, please post here or send a msg. Thanks
