First consultation

Hi, I hope someone can shed some light on what happens, I had an MRI for something else, which revealed a tumour in my thigh I was referred to a London hospital under the 2 week pathway and was told the first appointment would be either in person, phone call or straight for more tests, so 10 days later I have my first phone call with them tomorrow morning and I’m scared witless as I don’t know what to expect or what it entails 

  • Hi Solo19, 

    That sounds pretty scary - no wonder you’re scared ##itless! 
    Please right down all the questions you have and the answers you receive. This is important as we patients apparently forget 80% of what we’re told when we are stressed.

    The main questions I’d be asking would be;

    where in the thigh - bone, muscle or somewhere else?

    did the MRI show anything unusual in other parts of my body?

    what do you propose happens next - more diagnostic tests and scans or straight into treatment? 

    Good luck!

    Dave 

  • Thank you Dave, I will certainly ask those questions
