Is this the right process or has GP messed up?

Long standing gyne issues. Scan early dec found a cystic mass on my uterine wall. Ovaries clear. Waited for my scan at hospital today. Arrived to be given advice on heavy periods and contraception to stop them. Im 37 with 2 kids and had already had this conversation with my gp. 

 

My gp told me it was to re scan me and make decisions to move forwards and they would likely want to remove it. 

The hosp said my gp didn't request a scan...has she messed up before I start complaining? Total waste of an afternoon off work...dr at hosp said hes booking me in for a scan but could take another 6 weeks (already waited 6) and a ca125 blood test tomorrow. Already had the pain of waiting and just want to know! Also they couldnt find any details of my de  svan on the system! 

Thanks 

  • I'm sorry to read what happened when you went for your hospital appointment Riri.

    It may be a good idea to let your doctor know what the hospital said and try and find out if they did send the request for the scan through or not. Some of our members have also found themselves in similar situations and hopefully they'll reply soon to offer their thoughts and advice.

    Our cancer nurses are just a phone call away if you'd like to have a quick chat with them about this as well. They are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040.

    I hope you're able to get some answers soon Riri.

    All the best,
