  • Hello HumphreysS

    I'm sorry ot hear about the ongoing health concerns that you've been dealing with over the past 9 months. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about what the results from your most recent appointment may reveal. 

    Hopefully, you won't have to wait too long for your follow-up appointment and the team will be able to give you some reassurance. 

    We know that for many people this period of waiting can uncertainty can be difficult. It's natural to feel anxious - the unknown can be a scary prospect. Although often easier said than done, try to remain positive. Worrying won't change the outcome but will leave you feeling more unwell. Often it can help to talk things through with someone and I wonder if you might find it beneficial to have a chat with our team of nurses? I'm sure they will be happy to offer any advice, information, and support that they can as well as help you think about any questions you may want to raise at your appointment. If you'd like to speak with them they're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I do hope you have some news soon. Keep in touch and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes, 
    Jenn
