I had a breast biopsy over 5 weeks ago they have all the results now including the MRI but canceled my appointment and rescheduled for another week. I have called I have visited and the breast nurses keep saying they can’t give me any information until my appointment with the consultant, I asked if another doctor could call me they said no. I wrote a request for my medical records but that can take two months. I came back to the UK after 35 years living n the US as a nurse, there I would be treated differently and respected as a medical professional
. I want my results and the not being kept informed and treated like I am a child is worse than the diagnosis. I have lost faith in this system and I am thinking of returning to America without my husband because I know they would give me the information if I asked and it would be done as soon as they were available. I have insurance there from the government from September 1st and would probably get the treatment the same time as I will here at the rate they are moving. This is not about lack of resources or anything like that it is just rules and bureaucracy.
I can’t sleep or stop thinking about it I was fine until yesterday when they canceled my appointment for Monday and refused to give me my results.
