What happens at haemotology first appointment

Hi, I have been referred on a 2ww for haemotology  due to numerous lymph nodes in various places, chest pain, night sweats, lethargic etc.  I was just wandering if anyone knows what happens at these first appointment? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

  • Hi there, 

    Im not too sure what happens at the first appointment in your situation but my dad was diagnosed and his first appointment at haematology involved being weighed, having his obs taken and his bloods taken. Then he went and spoke with a consultant about what was going on, what they were and weren't going to do and things like that. Dad has appointments every two weeks now and it's the same routine. Dad wasn't well enough to go today so we had a telephone appointment with the consultant instead of taking him in. I'm not sure if it's the same for everyone but that's what happens with us. 

    I'm so sorry I couldn't help more but hopefully someone else will be along soon with some more info for you and we are always here to chat. Take care. Xxxx
