Been told to shield, but not had results? Freaking out!

Waiting for test results for suspected Lymphoma. I recieved a message today telling me my face to face appointment on Thursday has been changed to a telephone appointment, also the message said information regarding Covid19 and your care, attached was a link advising on sheilding for patience with Lymphoma, risk of exposure and Home isolation key points for patience. Has anyone else had this?,  is it a generic message attachment?  I'm freaking out and could really do with some advise.

Thanks in advanced. 

  • Hello Nicpaf

    I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling anxious after your recent message from the hospital. It sounds as if you've probably had a generic message about your appointment but I'd certainly think about raising the point at your appointment and letting the team know how anxious it has left you feeling when you're still waiting for a diagnosis. 

    I hope that your appointment goes/has gone smoothly today. 

    Best wishes,
