Hello Dunn87 and thanks for the post

I am sorry to hear you have some symptoms that need looking into.

Usually if someone is referred under the suspected cancer pathway they will first have an appointment with a specialist to assess what may be going on. They will ask you some questions and examine you to decide what test may be necessary. 

Sometimes further tests are carried out at the same time as the appointment but in other cases patients will be invited back at a later date to have these done.

I hope you know more soon about your situation.

Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Best wishes,

Naomi
