  • Hello Jacqueline

    I'm sorry to hear that you have some ongoing health problems at the moment and that you're currently waiting for some investigations to see what is causing these symptoms. It's understandable that you may be feeling worried. 

    Has the hospital given you an indication of when you may get the endoscopy appointment? Hopefully, it won't be too long and the team should be able to give you some answers. 

    We know that for many people this period of waiting for tests and results can be difficult. It's natural to have concerns. We have some information about how to cope with waiting for news that you may find helpful. If you think it would be useful to talk things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can to help. 

    Do keep in touch Jacqueline and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
