I posted a couple of weeks ago. I've noted today a member here John had his review with great results and he has been disacharged after 8/9 yrs back to GP
I'm due a review this month, I was diagnosed around June 2017, now 9 monthly reviews.
I've chased the hsopital, my mp a pile of ..... that is busy on twitter bigging itself up re other stuff but wont answer my emails, twitter other than one email last week saying she is very busy.
I have been chasing the hospital within the Lweisham, Greenwich NHS Trsut and a nice lady rang up today that runs the depts and they have requested safety for staff and patients and awaiting response from PHE. The PHE lot are a pile of ...IMO. Estimated time before reviews start they reckon will be late June it could be a while after that. Importantly and rightly so, those waiting since early April will get first appts. The hspt is doing checks re new urgent cases in various ways.
Like most i worry about review, cystoscopy being delayed - how do i find out if any hospital are doing this but I am aware I will need a new referral so possibly back to square one .I have checked private hospital prices for the flexible cystoscopy and they range from about 1700 to 3k which is out of my league.
I had the lower grade thong in the bladder and it was removed on the initial check via flexible cystoscopy. I've had several reviews all goo and one was due this month - but i fear i may not get one until early september over a year later. Any suggestions please?
Btw, I am aware new cases take lead and people are in a worse place than me and we, I fear visiting the hospital.
The lady that rang me was nice she gave me her number should my circumstances change re bladder.
