Scanxiety begins again ...

My biggest bugbear with Southmead was the administration/communication. The staff were great.

Certainly pays to be proactive! I have hinted at my last visit that would be more useful, even if means an extra visit, but they do seem to like to decide at the consult what other tests to do, apart from routine bloods etc.

Hope you can keep the scanxiety sufficiently at bay & get good results.

Well done for being on the ball Southmead Hospital, but you are right we do need to monitor our own appointments.

That said this morning  I received a letter from the marvellous (and constantly under threat of closure) North Devon District Hospital. Thanks to the diligence of my CNS aka superwoman, my next flexi cystoscopy has been booked in for 20th December. My fingers are crossed for NED urology Christmas present. 

Good work CB. I Hope all goes well

Always listen to the Mrs, good luck CB hope all is well .

Totally agree CB. We know that different departments do not talk to each other and appointments come in the wrong order. Managing our own destiny is spot on. At one point I had a wall chart up to keep track of things. Hoping all goes well with your results. Best wishes.

All the best for 6th CB x

We arrived back from home today expecting a flexi appointment  for Mr W Nothing in the post so phone  call first thing Monday morning The admin side drives me mad First appointment came 2 weeks weeks after bcg completed spoke to nurse assured  us we would get another appointment for the correct  6/8 weeks Lo and behold second appointment  4 weeks after bcg .Another call assured appointment would be waiting we got back from hols!
