Hi Sandra,

Welcome to Cancer Chat. Unfortunately I'm not too sure what you should expect at the appointment, however if anyone here has any similar experience to share then hopefully they'll be along soon.

If you'd like to talk to our nurses in the meantime, who may be able to help more, you can reach them on 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

I hope it all goes OK at your appointment and wishing you all the best,

Hiya,

So my first appointment basically was going over all your symptoms, they examine all your lymphnode areas and stomach area to check your spleen. You get sent for bloods and they generally order a neck to pelvis ct scan for a different day. 

Thats all that happened at mine, if you have any questions just let me know

Hi 

Thanks for getting back to me so they just go through basics thanks god I'm a little nervous for the appointment I have blood clots on my lungs and also tested positive for the viruse for cervical cancer so a little on edge to what to what to expect 

Kind regards 

Sandra 

Yeah just basics for a first appointment they will probs do more bloods about clotting factors ect but they are nice people

Hi, hope all goes well for you, I've got my first appointment on the 14th and didn't know what to expect, so I also appreciate the responses.

I've got a note of family history as I thought they might ask about it
