Had referral by GP for suspected soft tissue sarcoma. Leg. Early March. Had X-ray & blood test same day local hospital
Weeks later 9 April, sent to a hospital out of area for ultrasound. 7.5 hour round trip. Radiologist told me he was writing to gp with result as I left. Rang surgery several times, GP only received yesterday after I contacted hospital they agreed to re send it. I was supposed to go for MRI at same hospital this week but had no clue why or what they'd found previously
Asked for appointment to be postponed until I had facts and could weigh up risks
The travel on public transport is obviously risky, drawn out cos of cancellations and involves trip across water, bus, train and taxi. Apparently local hospital doesn't do 2ww so have to do it. If treatment is needed I don't know how I will cope with travel to be honest or if hospitals still doing any
This isolating must cause delays for many affected with cancer tests, treatment diagnosis and it's definitely affecting stress levels.
