  • Hi Dollypops,

    I can understand this must be confusing and concerning if you don't have all the information about things at the moment.

    I can't advise on what the appointments are for - I can only suggest you try again giving his doctor a call, or the department noted on the letter. You can also ask any questions and discuss next steps at the first appointment in early May.

    I hope you're able to find out more soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
