slightly annoyed with NHS

Hi to everyone  i just joined  this today , and thank you for having me  xx 

I am feeling so lost today , after me finding a small lump when i was washing one day last month, and i had lost slight  blood loss i made a Doctors app. that was done quite quick , had to go through several invasive tests , then  i was told  by the GP That he dont think it feels like a cyste its to solid he said , he said send for me to have a emergancy scan then we take it from there . Anyway here i was  waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting  August passes and nothing comes through the post for this scan app booking . I just thought be patient  its the NhS  and there over busy  , its only  when my Daughter said i should of had the letter by now  so i thought  i best phone my doctors surgery  to chase it up , and to my shock they told me it had been cancalled  . Im know waiting on some paperwork  from them , i am so confused  and upset  i am taking painkillers every day  which i buy myself  to ease this uncomfortable pain  . It feels like its constantly growing  and  i need to know if its  a cyste  or cancerous growths . Im terribly scared  as iv lost alot of family due to cancer . 

  • Hi Lollotta.d and welcome to the forum.

    I'm really sorry to read what happened. Did they say why it was cancelled? I hope you were able to get the ball rolling on this again as having peace of mind is so important in these situations.

    Hopefully some of our members will be along soon to offer their support and advice but I just want you to know we're thinking of you and will have our fingers crossed this all gets sorted out soon.

    Kind regards,

  • Thank you so much , I have no idea why they cancalled the scan  my daughter who is currently training to be a nurse , said to me that patients often have there oparations cancelled all the time , so i dont know if its because the NHS is over booked or something . It actually baffles me . Well i received a letter from my GPS Sugery and its saying i need to book a non emergency appiontment with my Doctor , which i am going to do this monday  coming , and plus i need painkillers as its quite a uncomfortable pain i get . So yes i should find out then what he suggest to do in getting rid of this large lump and the last month blood test i had . One peace of mind i feel is my smear test i had 14 weeks ago came back clear . But im at the stage now where i want this golf ball as i call it taken out its so uncomfortable and painful its happering my life its needs gone .
