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 

    Everyone is different how is he when you're together?

    I'm currently having chemo and my partner hasn't always been able to come with me when I went for checks etc. 

    As toughmuddertim said he may not know how to deal with it as your relationship is in early stage. 

    Hope all goes well.

  • Thank you both for taking the time to reply. I can also add that I had a car accident last night ( nothing too serious ) but he chose to just send a text and waited more than 2 hours to call to see if I was ok....

    My instincts are he doesn't know how to handle it but we're no youngsters... both 59. I've brought it up today after my scans and he replied he couldn't have got time off and I didn't ask him to go along. I shouldn't have to ask....

    This is a guy who I spend 4/5 evenings with have met family etc. who says he wants to grow old with me.... but this response is a huge red flag to me.

    Thanks

  • Hi an22gels

    It does sound abit worrying that he took so long to call after your car accident I think I would be concerned too. 

    Maybe he has past history for worrying etc regarding hospital apps, stress in certain circumstances. I do think maybe be wise to sit together and talk things through. 

    Xx
