  • Hi Amrc,

    I can understand your concerns - I know the waiting and uncertainty is difficult. It sounds like they have referred you as a precaution, but ultimately the referral is a good thing as it means you'll get the answers you need.

    I hope it's not too long to wait for your appointment. In the meantime, if others have similar experience to share then hopefully they'll be along soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
