I understand the pressure the NHS is under,however,I really do need this scan,ASAP, and feeling extremely apprehensive as getting near Christmas and imagine I shall be left until the New Year.

Hi jillybee559

I’m sorry to read you’re having a difficult time waiting for your appointment.  Whilst you wait for the other users to reply with their knowledge and experience you might find it helpful to talk the situation through with a member of staff on the helpline.  Here you can share your concerns with someone who will offer you a listening ear as well as emotional support and practical information.  The number to call is 0808 800 6000 and lines are open today 10 to 2pm and weekdays 9 to 5pm.
