A waiting game.

I have been waiting to hear the results of cervical biopsies taken on 12/09/11 and have finally been told (yesterday) that they are ready and that the results will be shown to the colposcopy nurse and that I should receive a letter next week.

In the meantime I also had a biopsy done (7/10/11) on a new lesion that appeared on the foot I had Melanoma removed from in January...........It was marked as urgent.

I was due to go and see my plastic surgeon on 27/10/11 after my appointment on 20/10/11 was cancelled.......Yesterday I received a text reminding me of my appointment on 20/10/11......As you can imagine I was somewhat confused. Today I received a letter stating that my appointment with my palstic surgeon on the 27/10/11 has been cancelled and that I am now due to be seen at the dermatology consultants clinic instead on the 20/10/11!

I am totally confused as well as worried..... I am thinking allsorts.......

Is it a coincidence it has been changed?

Has it been changed due to the fact I have got a new lesion?

Have they received the biopsy results back....And it isn't good news?

Why change me from a plastic surgeon appointment to a dermatology one?

I just need to know and the waiting is agony! With luck I should have all my answers soon.

Good luck with all the results, Rosie, I hope they're good. Is it good that you're seeing a dematoligist rather than the plastic surgeon? I don't know, but I hope it is!!

Hi Rosie,

It could be another case of a hospital's right hand not knowing what its left is doing - that's not unknown here! I know it's pointless urging you not to worry, after all it's what we all do a lot of the time, and thank goodness we can offload these things onto each other, it does relieve some of the pressure knowing you can "talk" to people who understand.

I wouldn't mind betting that, despite your anxious permutations of possibilities, it's got more to do with specialists' lists or holidays or other urgent commitments!

Anyway, at least you're going to see someone a week earlier, so the waiting will be less. That probably isn't a great comfort, but hang in there, the time will pass quickly enough.

Love, hugs & crossed digits,

Annie
