Mags was given a 12-week wait in Scotland
A woman who was faced with a 12-week wait in Scotland for life-changing surgery dived into her life savings to travel down south for the procedure.
Mags' last scan in February showed no sign of the disease but she now fears a relapse and wants improvements to treatment options and diagnosis times in Scotland. "Access to surgery is an unacceptable issue that affects the overall landscape of care that's being provided in Scotland. The charity is calling for a combination of national symptoms awareness campaigns and more training for GPs which will lead to earlier diagnosis.
"It's very concerning too to hear from women that they aren't asked about the impact their diagnosis has on their mental health.
