Not sure I know where to start and I'm writing this through tears. Haven't stopped crying all day.
Firstly I need to advise that my mother in law recently died. My sister in law died this time last year of cancer and my sister bless her will be starting chemo shortly. My oldest and youngest are sitting important exams so you can imagine the stress we were under before all this hit.
Anyroad up I was advised following an ultrasound, ca125 at 167 and various weeks of waiting that it was highly likely that I had ovarian cancer. As such though I wasn't happy about it I had a full and radical hysterectomy.
Fast forward 10 days in a post surgery meeting with the surgeons that this was indeed cancer and advised of the staging. Ultimately on the back of this diagnosis I put a critical illness claim in. I asked everything several times over in order to take everything in and neither myself or my husband were in doubt.
Week later I receive a general call from hospital after my wellbeing they mentioned that this is half way between cancer. Given the information and diagnosis in my post op meeting I asked for full clarification to then receive a call from the cns to advise its not quite cancer but isn't cancer. Confused - so am I. Received a further call half hour after that to advise oh sorry its not cancer at all.
Had I not put the claim in I would have gone through the rest of my life thinking I had cancer.
Just how can they do this to people. The stress and upset is disgraceful and unimaginable. The stress and upset this has caused my family is horrendous. The school called me about my youngest to advise me that he had been caught googling depressed and don't want to live. As you can imagine this just broke me. Poor lamb was worrying so much.
Sorry for venting but I feel I have no faith in the medical profession.
