I have had 10/12 cycles of chemo with FOLFOX. In early June after cycle 8 was told my urology stent required renewing ( my urology is carried out at a different hospital to my chemo). To enable this I had to have the ‘BEV’ part of my chemo for 5 weeks so that covered cycles 9 and 10. My stent was renewed on the 1st July and my next chemo, cycle 11, should be this week commencing 08th July, but I have heard nothing about the pre chemo blood test or a chemo date.

I have spoken to the nursing team twice at my chemo hospital and they say the appointments have been requested but the appointments team haven’t responded yet. This is worrying me that no sense of urgency is being shown bearing in mind I have now been 6 weeks without ‘BEV’ and no appointments are forthcoming.

I am at a loss as what to do next. In your opinion, is this normal and what should I do?

Thank you.
