Hello, I understand your distress. Hopefully everything will be ok but I agree that waiting until the 16th December can be a terrible ordeal. One possibility is for you to call the GP and ask the secretary either to change the appointment or to have a phone call appointment soon, explain that you are very distressed and the situation is affecting your mental health (you cannot sleep, you are anxious, etc), usually the secretary can help. Be aware that because of Covid, there has been a change of policy and doctors now can discuss cancer diagnosis over the phone, something that in the past was completely out of question. I wish you well, take care of yourself and be positive. With best wishes, 

Sylvia

I used to be a GP receptionist and this was usually the worse part of my day, calling patients to say doctor wants to discuss results but then having to book them for an appointment for ages away. What I will say is that if it was anything urgent like cancer the doctor would say to book an urgent appointment which would have been in the next few days- if not squeezed in sane day. The fact that it's been booked weeks in advance makes me think it's not urgent.

I also had lots of patients calling to say they were worried and didn't want to wait that long so I would usually send a quick note to the doctor in question -laying it on thick that the patient is extremely worried, affecting mental health etc- and they'd usually say to fit the patient in sooner or for a telephone call even that day. Sometimes as patients, we unfortunately need to advocate for ourselves and I always respected the patients that would speak up for themselves. Us receptionists would try our hardest to help the patients, but unfortunately doctors have the final say.
