Previous partial nephrectomy,then diagnosed on the other kidney,monitoring .CT scan last year showed a growth on the spleen,if it continues to grow will recommend surgery,also to monitor.
Recent lung health check CT,whilst awaiting results,saw an entry on my GP records,referred on 2ww suspected lung cancer.I have not even had a phone call,text,email or letter about the result,MDT meeting or being referred.
GP surgery said some letters should not be able to be read by the patient,until discussed with them,suggesting NHS app is at fault .
Referred to respiratory medicine,who whilst apologising for not having made any contact,how can you keep secret my own health results.
I do at least have an appointment now after complaint,over the 2 week wait already..
Really poor experience,human error ,IT or inept ,I shouldn't have to find a possible lung cancer diagnosis by 'being able to see the wrong letter'.
So sad to read this happened to you Nidge nobody should have to go through the menntal strain of discovering by such a discovery . I wish you well with the fuTUre
