Result. Whats next

Hi i had my result by phone on Friday 17/6. It was positive and i was advised to elect for close monitoring. Can't remember the proper title. Can you tell if i should expect a confirmation letter soon before the next three month check. My daughter keeps asking questions so it would help answer those questions. 
on another note. I felt ok on 17/6 about it but now find myself with mixed feeling from worried to angry. It is certainly distracting and difficult to concentrate on work. 
thank you

  • Hello and thanks for your post

    You don't mention what test result you received, so it is difficult to offer specific advice on this. 

    It's possible that you will receive a letter from the hospital, but individual hospitals may do things slightly differently in the way they communicate with their patients so it's best to contact them to ask about this.

    If you are still worried about how you will be followed up perhaps you should speak to your GP to talk about your concerns. Usually they would get a summary letter from the hospital with test results and the conclusions of the specialist team.

    Most people with a health concern feel very vulnerable and often describe being on an emotional roller coaster. So be aware of this and try and be kind to yourself and limit your expectations about what you should and shouldn't be doing or feeling. 

    Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,
