Annoyed!!

2 minute read time.

I went for my CT scan this morning which was fine and I managed to drink the gastro in half an hour as no one was looking...that stuff is awful!!  My dad came and sat with me as he is still in and we had a nice chat about how hes feeling and it seemed to help him.  After the scan we went for a coffee as I was gasping due to the fact I couldnt eat or drink anything before the scan and I am a total coffee addict!! I also had a cheese scone with butter which was yummy.  I had a missed call on my mobile and it was about my pending appointment tomorrow for my MUGA scan.  They wanted to change it from 10.15 to 4 pm err no I have to work and have already wangled it for me to be there at 10.15!! So I phoned the salon and I have clients in pretty much all day as I am covering for a colleague who has gone away (again!!)  So sorry no can do!! I telephoned the appointments dept only to be told they have no isotopes until 4 tomorrow so I cant go in any earlier.  Well I have an onc appointment Monday and need the scan before then and I am working the rest of the week....and with my job I cant just take time off as I have clients booked in and am already covering for someone else. HEADACHE!! So she was really rude and told me I HAVE to change my clinic appointment and the only other scan date will be Friday 14 th.  Well I really dont want to change my clinic appointment as I get the CT results then and that is this Monday (10th) and its bad enough waiting that long for the results, I dont think I could function waiting another week.  Plus I'm not due any treatment til the 18th so its not like I am jeopardising my heart health is it??  Its just very frustrating as I have been a regular for 3 years now and its the same old routine...you would think they could get it right wouldnt you??  Also they have had my appointment request since Feb and they only gave me the appointment for tomorrow last week but only because I chased it up!!  Well lets just hope I get good results hey!!

    Oh, how frustrating for you! Can't your employers be a bit more flexible - after all it is your health and that is the MOST important thing.

    Fingers crossed for good results.

    Best wishes,

      The thing is they are really flexible and I am covering someone else who is away.  I am the only therapist in tomorrow so they cant move any clients over which I know they would if they could.  I'm going to try and speak to my onc and see if she will give me the CT results Monday still then see her again after the Muga?? Thanks KateG x

          Hi Chrisse,

          Sorry you are going through all the hassle with your scan appt, I had to cancel an MRI cause was really unwell and when hubby rang to let them know it felt like how dare you mess up our appts for the day and they also said move consultant appt.

          I"m sorry to ask but have never heard of a MUGA scan could you tell me what it is if you don't mind.

          Could you ring your consultant or his sec and explain your problem maybe they could help.

          Take care.
