Hello Janie and thanks for your post
It's more common now for hospitals to offer a combination of telephone and face to face appointments to their patients.
Your telephone appointment will usually be with a specialist or specialist nurse. They will most likely advise you on how you will be monitored and will give you an opportunity to ask questions. You can also contact them and arrange an appointment if you have any new symptoms or are worried about anything.
I hope this is of some help. 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,

Hi what was your symptoms please and how long to get diagnosed x
I had chest pain, pain under my arms fatigue it has taken 1 year to get diagnosed
Did you have any other symptoms?swollen lymph nodes? How did you get diagnosed biopsy, Mri, Ct ? Thank you
No swollen lymph nodes had a CT scan and they discovered a lump in my chest which they were pretty sure was benign but did a biopsy to check and that was when I was diagnosed not sure what to expect next as I am in pain and very fatigued any help would be great
They have now changed my appointment to a face to face
Hi they will want a face 2 face appointment to see where you go from here I hope you get all the answers you looking for take care
