The Wait is so Upsetting

First I want to apologise for posting again as I realise a lot of people post about this issue but I am struggling so much.

I was referred on 2WW by my GP, seen very quickly for CT scan... But 3 weeks later, there is nothing. This wouldn't be as hard if it weren't for the fact no one answers when I call any of the numbers provided :sad: I realise people are busy... But I am so anxious and upset. It's easy to say no news is good news, but when I call my GP they say they have nothing, can see nothing on the system (which they have been able to see in the past when I have had hospital scans). So... I am left feeling like no one has even looked at my scans, which the GP requested as urgent.

:sad: I think the hospital must be very backed up right now, which I can appreciate and sympathise with, but it is so emotionally draining and hard not to fear the worst still.

  • I would contact the consultants secretary or specialty sec. They are able to see results and contact the consultant for you. My consultant rang me following a similar request she gave me a date for surgery and told me not use a new medication until after surgery. The nurse specialist is also a good reference they are up to date with the current treatment. 
    l hope you have more success with your calls soon waiting is awful it's hard not to worry. 
    Take care
