Hello and thank you for posting,

I can appreciate your frustration at this time.

Unfortunately, we can't really comment in depth, not being directly clinically involved. It sounds like there has been some communication going on between hospitals regarding his case. Procedures that take place within radiology departments do need to be booked in advance, and there may have been a backlog of cases and/or staff shortages, but I don't know. His current hospital specialist should be able to explain things more, they can be contacted via their NHS secretary. They may have a hospital clinical nurse specialist (CNS) as well, which is worth asking about.

The other suggestion is to contact the hospital PALS Officer (patient advice liason service) via the PALS service. They are there to look into patients concerns and find out more about their current situation. 

I hope this has been of some help, and hope that your family member has this done soon, 

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.

Yours sincerely,

Vanda
