Hospital mess up awaiting ct scan results

The last few weeks have been a whirl wind ..... the last year my body has been attacking its self started with my heart going really fast lots of tests scans ect and is currently behaving but during one scan the found ground glass on one of my lungs so had some more test under respiratory who did blood tests a year ago .... after antibiotics lings cleared and they discharged me .... learnt to live with stuff and then 3 months ago my finger doubled in size and became painful I understood do covid waiting list was long so paid private expecting to get a dignosis of psoriasis arthritis and start treatment instead he asked me about blood tests done a year ago I said I was unaware of any issues he then told me I have an anti body Tif1 which means I could be more likely to get cancer and as this was not looked in to last year it would need further tests ..... so today had my ct scan and awaiting other scans I'm so scared and annoyed that they should have seen this a year ago and just hope they dont find anything :( 

  • Hello kimbest88, 

    I just wanted to welcome you to our forum. I hope you won't have to wait too long for your CT scan results and for your other scans. I can understand why you are feeling frustrated that this was not dealt with a year ago and I imagine it must be a very stressful time for you while waiting for these important results. 

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,
