Good Afternoon
Having suffered with chronic fatigue, mucus in stools, normal but low ferritin and constant lower abdominal pain, and having visited the GP on numerous occasions and being fobbed off with, 'nothing wrong, or 'menopause' I pushed to have a CT scan. I was put on the 2ww pathway due to having breast cancer in 2020, and my mother being diagnosed with primary peritoneal cancer.
To note, I also had a full hysterectomy(everything removed) in 2022 due to side effects of breast cancer treatment.
I had a CT scan on 23rd April and having heard nothing contacted the GP on 6th May for an update
They have informed me my results are waiting to be discussed at an MDT meeting on 19th May.
A couple of questions - is it normal practice that i wasn't informed by my GP/Hospital of the outcome of the CT scan
What is the likelyhood that something has been found on the scans that will require treatment (not necessarily just for cancer)
To be honest, i would cope better if I knew they had found something - am i within my rights to contact hospital to request further information?
Thank you for any guidance you can provide
