I need to rant.
Im so upset and also really cross. When I went to clinic last weds and had the mammogram, ultrasound and biopsies I was told I woukd get the appt in the post for the results within 2 weeks and that my consultant had clinics on a weds. This weds came and went but when the post man came today and still no letter I rang the number on my referral letter to enquire if it had gone in the post as its Friday tommorow and obviously clinic is closed over the weekend. She tells me there is no availability for appts for the next 6 weeks!!!! At this point I cry and say I can't possibly wait that long and ask to speak with someone else. She advises I ring the consultants secretary. I ring her for her to say there is no availability showing for his clinic because he goes on holiday tommorow for 2 weeks!! I break down and say I'm supposed to be seen by weds nest week with results and she says she's sorry but he likes to see his own patients with results. I point out Ive not even met him yet I saw a nurse specialist last week and I don't care who I see hut I can't wait till the middle of march I'm going crazy not knowing. She says she'll email him and ask if he minds someone else seeing me?! Surely that's my choice?
Anyway she rings me back with an appt for tommorow at 12pm he has agreed to see me after his private hospital clinic at my hospital before he goes on holiday.
Im going between thinking all must be okay if I was to be left 4 weeks from initial investigations to it must be bad news if he's squeezing me in. I'm also really cross that had I not chased my appt up I'd be left in limbo all weekend again just waiting when my results are clearly analysed and available now.
Anyway this time tommorow I will know one way or another.
Terrified doesn't come close right now.
Sorry for the long post just needed to get that off my chest.
