Very anxious, would appreciate some advise.

Hi, I found a lump on the right side of my stomach & lost a lot of weight. GP did a urgent referral and put me on the suspected cancer pathway and I had numerous scans but my CT scan shown I have a nodual on my abdomen & one on my lung. They assured me it was nothing to worry about & to come back in 3 months for another scan. So I went for my repeat CT scan last week and they said you'll have your results in 7 days. I woke up on the 31st to a message saying URGENT please log in to see the letter. The letter says following receipt a URGENT referral has been made & we have booked you a URGENT appointment at the GASTROENEROLOGY department... the appointment isn't until the 14th of February but I thought if it was URGENT it should be done within 2 weeks? I am thinking all sorts & I am so drained and tired all the time. Has anyone ever experienced this? Thankyou xx

  • Hi Lissy

     

    Just sending a few words to advise you not to worry.  I was diagnosed with breast cancer in October but didn't start my chemo until just before Christmas. If you are too worried, why not phone the Doctor's secretary and ask for them to call you?  I hate how they keep us waiting. 

     

    Please let me know how you get on (you can use the private messenging thing on here). 

     

    Sending you lots of hugs, 

     

    Sue xx
