Hello bexter21

I'm sorry to hear that you're waiting for test results at the moment. We know that for many people this period of waiting and uncertainty can be very difficult and it's natural that you want to have answers as soon as you can. 

We know that at the moment, Covid backlogs and staffing pressures are causing delays for many people in receiving news. It's incredibly frustrating and now with the strikes and the Christmas break you are likely to be left waiting even longer before you hear back. 

Hopefully you will have some news in the New Year but if you feel you need to talk with someone for support you can call our nurse team. The office will reopen on Wednesday 28th to 30th Dec 9 am to 5 pm. Then closed 5 pm 30th Dec, back on 3rd Jan 2023 to 6th Jan, as normal 9 am to 5 pm and they are available on 0808 800 4040. Alternatively, the Macmillan support line is open from 8 am to 8 pm daily over the Christmas break. 

Best wishes, 
Jenn
