  • Hello Lucylucy146

    I'm sorry to hear that you've had a health concern recently. We know that waiting for tests and results can be a particularly difficult time for lots of people. It's natural for people to worry about what the results may be. Have the hospital given you an indication about how long you may have to wait or what the next steps might be? 

    If you think it might help to talk things through with one of our nurses then you're welcome to give them a call. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I know it's easier said than done but try to keep busy as it will keep your mind occupied. Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
