Hiya Sally,

Thank you! I feel like working in a hospital makes it so much worse because you know all the pathways, but as I work in gynae the consultants I come into contact with aren't much help. Though that said one of them was lovely when she caught me crying over having a 2 week wait referral saying that I just have to remember it's a way of being seen sooner. 

I've been trying to avoid Google as much as possible because I know I'll scare myself silly, but its harder when you're up at night. 

My GP has been fab with keeping me informed though, and my old boss works for the cancer bureau now so she's told me my referral is now on the waiting list and I just need to wait for the Endoscopy waiting list manager to contact me and that cmy referral has been graded as 2 week wait 1b urgent, but as I only handle routine referrals in my day to day job I have no clue what that 1b means. 

Hopefully the Endoscopy will also show why I've been coughing up blood daily for the last 5 months. That was why they originally did a bronchoscopy and ct scan searching for clots, as there's close family history of them x
