Diagnosis Delay?

Anyone else had issues with getting a diagnosis or at least tests sorted and scans.

I have opted to go private for a ct scan and I'm still waiting on my gp to sign it off.

He wants me to see him on Wednesday to discuss this but I don't see why he won't just refer me over.

I've had significant weight loss of nearly a stone in a couple of months. Still eating everyday. Severely fatigued all the time making me practically house bound.

Stools turning grey with black bits.

I think because my bloods were normal and ultrasound didn't show anything, they are being really slow and there's no urgency.

I understand about waiting times but I want to go private and they're taking ridiculous amounts of time just to refer me.

I'm so frightened and lost. I just want answers 

  • I'm sorry for how long you've had to wait to get this signed off by your GP mrk1993.

    This must be very frustrating but I hope your appointment with them today goes well and clears things up.

    Fingers crossed you can get that CT scan soon and finally get some answers about your symptoms.

    All the best,
