Apprehensive waiting for final investigations. It's taking so long

The snail's pace of final investigations is painful.  I know they are doing their best but it all takes too long.  I am already diagnosed with.stage 3 lung cancer after being treated from a chest infection for weeks.

Trying to keep the lid on it

  • Welcome to the forum, Garden-girl.

    I'm sorry for the delay in investigations and the frustration it's causing.

    As many here can tell you the waiting game can be difficult and since you have done everything you could possibly at this point, try to take your mind off things if possible. If you find it too tricky though and feel that speaking with someone with a medical background might help, please know our friendly team of nurses would be happy to chat with you. They're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on this freephone 0808 800 4040.

    Hang in there, Garden-girl and please update us after you know more.

    All the best,
