Awaiting diagnosis

My partner is ill. She's lost 4 stone in a year. (I wanted her to lose the baby weight in my mind). Now she has and she can't eat ANYTHING. She has proteins that say cancer. Hospitals and doctors don'tt seem to care because of covid,and she's mostly horrible. I don't know what to do.

  • Welcome to the forum Muchomojo although I'm sorry to hear your partner is unwell.

    If you feel your partner's symptoms aren't being taken seriously and their GP surgery has more than one doctor, you could try getting a second opinion. You or your partner could get in touch with the NHS on their 111 number to see what they advise as well.

    This must be very tough for the both of you right now but hopefully it won't be long before you're able to get some answers and peace of mind.

    Kind regards,
