Doctor who gave me my diagnosis said I need to be referred to another hospital for treatment. Does the 2 week rule apply to my referral? If not how long could I expect to wait for an appointment at the hospital I will be referred to and any correspondence concerning it? Thank you.
Hi WishingWell.46 and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm very sorry to read that you've just been diagnosed with womb cancer and it's natural that you should have lots of questions.
I can see that you've already found and joined the womb cancer group and I'm sure if you post your questions there the other members of the group will do their best to support you. Clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there where you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and also respond to existing posts by clicking on 'reply'.
When you have a minute, it would be really useful if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
