i have been on the phone to the hospital today and they know nothing about me being referd so had to phone back and forwards from doctor,s surgery to hospital, then when i got it all sorted i was so annoyed to find out my doctor hasnt fast tracked me, so i have waited for 2 weeks so far now to be tld it will be about another 5, i know it may be nothing but do they not realise just cause i have pain dosent mean it carnt be cancer, which was what my doctor said to me. i feel like im going mad, am i just imagining i had this pain, i feel so helpless
Hi Ali
This is awful and Im sorry that you have had to go through this. Its wrong for anyone to say if you feel pain its not BC, or to even try and diagnose anything until you have undergone checks and tests etc., the statistics still point to more good news than bad but when you are giong through the process I know how easy it is to imagine the worst (I know I did … and still do as I havent yet had my final results) … the waiting for me has been the biggest nightmare, and it seems to be the case for most people on the forum. I know it wont get you your appointment any quicker but I hope you use the forum to get some support and to give you a chance to shout about everything if you need to , Wish I could do more Ali …
Take care, Sue xx
