Hi Mega20, 

I am sorry you have been waiting so long for your appointment and I can completely understand why your anxiety is sky high at the moment. 5 weeks is a long time to have to wait for an urgent appointment and you did well to ring the hospital multiple times - you could also mention to them that you are going away soon and would be happy to take any cancellation. It sounds like it could be another 3 weeks maximum so hopefully that won't clash with your trip to Florida in 8 weeks' time. 

Waiting for tests and results is so stressful and the wait can truly feel endless so I thought I would share with you these helpful tips to help you cope while waiting for important news. I really hope that you will be seen before you go away so that you can breathe a bit and relax during your exciting holiday.

Best wishes,

Hi Mega

That is a long wait for you and it is very stressful. Especially as you are looking forward to a family holiday. Dont forget to check out you insurance cover before you go on holiday. Hope it all goes well and your appointment and holiday all fall into place.
