Attending a scan alone…

Hi

I would just like to ask....

I am attending hospital tomorrow for both a pelvic and abdominal scan because of symptoms ( ovarian/bowel ).

I have a new partner of 3 months. He hasn't offered to come/collect me afterwards ( he'll be working ). Am I wrong to feel I should be getting more support  ??? My scan is at midday... he says he'll call in the evening...

Thanks

    Hi there

     

    Not trying to sound rude, but it sounds like your partner is a bit of an ***. At some point during my year long treatment my girlfriend had found a lump in her throat and i made her get it checked out. A couple of days before her scan we had an arguement and I forgot about the scanI feel like crap because I told her to get it checked.

    I guess there's 2 ways of looking at it, on 1 hand he could have called in sick, arranged a shift swap etc so he could go with you. On the other hand, maybe he's not sure on how to deal with this sort of situation?

    I hope it's nothing serious

    Take care
