Hello lovely Nurses,
I went to my GP about my Fibroadenoma being painful every day and growing and told her I’ve had past breast cancer treatment at the Royal Free. She was mentioning UCLH, and i said I prefer to go back to my team at the Royal Free. (Did not know I had Open Access and thought I need to see GP with new pain).
She ended up booking me an appointment at UCLH. As I wanted to be seen, I didn’t hesitate to go. They were very nice, but did urge me to keep using my Open Access at the Royal Free. They felt the lump and did an ultrasound and found that its a new lesion. They wouldn’t biopsy until they see my scans from the Royal Free.
I left a voicemail on my open access Extension number for my past breast cancer nurse at RF. And I had a different nurse, obviously tired and annoyed with me call me back, telling my my surgeon has retired and I need to choose another one if I actually want to stay with the Royal Free. I was given two other extension numbers that ring out.
Does this mean i no longer have Open Access if my Consultant retired?
Should I give up with RF and make sure UCLH follow up for now with this? They told me in the future I need to go back to RF in the future. It’s been 6 days. Ive got a number to call if i don’t hear anything/forgotten about. I’m taking sleeping pills atm as im worried with the pain, it could be the cancer back.
