Referred by my doctor to the local hospital  and seen within 6 days for a tiny spot on my arm I was told surgery was necessary to remove it but not expected to be cancer but a KA. The waiting list should be 6 weeks . I was not called or contacted in that six weeks and after 23 unanswered phone calls and 4 emails during the months that followed  begging for answers  my tumour now   5 times the initial size was removed ,   exactly 112 days after my initial appointment . This week,   I received the diagnosis by phone of squamous cell carcinoma , I am taking my first call from the Cancer Clinic this morning . The surgeon informed  me he had been  requested to ‘fit me in’ and that my persistence had  paid off. I have yet to find out why my surgery was delayed and  not  performed within the 62 days. Feeling let down but I have faith things will get better.
