Frustrating delay in breast cancer referral care

I was initially directed to a breast clinic by my general practitioner last November due to familial cancer risks, and since then, I've heard absolutely nothing. The referring doctor seems completely uninformed and hasn't made any attempt to track the referral's progress. I underwent a private MRI that revealed breast changes, which I've also communicated to a GP at St Andrews, yet there's been no response. I'm overwhelmed by a sense that nobody takes my concerns seriously. A reddish purple lesion has recently appeared on one of my breasts, and I'm now skeptical about consulting NHS doctors who seem prone to dismissing my symptoms as hypochondria, despite my genuine physical concerns. I'm feeling utterly defeated and wondering if any worthwhile NHS services still exist.
