1 June - I phone the hospital after a week of silence

Less than one minute read time.

Tuesday after a bank holiday and a week after the MRI I decided it was time to chase things along.

I phoned the nurse team and asked what was happening.

I was told that a letter was in the post with an appointment to see the consultant, or one of his team, the following Tuesday (a week after the MRI).

I asked what the results of the MRI were and was told this would be discussed at the meeting.

I started to worry again.

The next day the letter arrived by second class post confirming my appointment, for the first time I started to feel very much a number rather than a name.
