Hi. 
So, I had my CT scan last Friday, and have my review booked for this Thursday to see if tumour has reacted to the radiotherapy. 
This afternoon, I get a call from the pharmacy at Southampton hospital, asking if I’d had a blood test recently. I haven’t had any blood tests that I can think of, regarding the cancer. I said why, she said ‘because everyone needs them…. ‘
For what, I asked? She just said, ‘oh if consultant needs to give you one, she’ll sort it’

Does she know something I don’t??? She couldn’t get off phone fast enough when I questioned it. Made me panic more tbh, as if I’m not petrified enough!

Thanks 

Jane xx 

  • Very strange Jane, can’t really see why your pharmacist would call to ask you that. My Pharmacy wouldn’t have a contact number for me.  Have you put in a recent prescription ? X

    I’m very confused and even asked sarcoma nurse, she said she had no idea. 
    I don’t get any medication from there at all.

    It was Southampton pharmacy that called, that’s usually the number that Dr Keay uses to call me, which is why I panicked as thought it was urgent and not waiting till Thursday. X

  • Jane if you have spoken to the nurses and they  have no idea, then please don’t worry. There has been a mix up with pharmacy somewhere, I am sure it is fine. X

  • Hi Jane, that sounds very odd, if that had happened to me, I would have been down both pharmacy and doctors to find out, peace of mind rules.

    All the best Ulls

    It’s too far to just pop to. 
    Thank you 

  • That does sound strange, I hope that your review shows good things.

    Best wishes
