Hi. Thought I would join. So I have my first apt on 13 July. I had an endometrial ablation 15 years ago and then last month my period came back, horrific cramping and brown/black discharge, this month cramping and bloating only. I've suffered alot of bloating for years and had bladder urgency issues too. I always had horrific pain, hence the ablation. My sister has terminal lung cancer, my mum has multiple myeloma and had a stroke recently, my step dad has Alzheimer's. My partner has only moved in a couple of months ago and my son has Asperger's and bpd. I haven't told my mum and step dad about apt as I don't want to worry them. The GP didn't do any blood tests or examine me she said that i needed to go straight to see the specialist. I was just wondering do they tell you anything at that first appointment? If not do they tell you by phone or letter? Many thanks
