Hello Pepperpots

I know how difficult it can be to wait for appointments. It's natural to be concerned about what may or may not happen during the time waiting for the tests and then results. 

Try to keep thinking positively. It's fairly standard for people to wait a couple of weeks for these kinds of investigations even after a Consultant has requested them. What you could do, if your husband is able to attend at short notice, is let the department know this in case any cancellations crop up. It may be that he's able to get an appointment sooner. 

I'd suggest you give our team of nurses a call to talk things through with them. I'm sure they'll be able to offer you both some reassurance and support to help whilst you wait. 

Keep in touch and let us know how you're both coping. 

Best wishes,
