    Hi Jane hope all goes well with your phone appointment such strange times we are living in is your appointment for your results from ct scan hope all is well with you and hope your mum is well 

    love Liz xx

  • Thanks Liz,The appointment is with my lovely local urologist.When I saw him earlier in the year he said he would follow me up every 4 mths.He sent me a letter with the ct scan results but we haven’t discussed them.I’m a bit concerned as I’m in a lot of pain around my hips,especially the left.Last time I spoke to mum she said her stomach had been painful.I hope the staff are keeping an eye on her as she had a stomach bleed a few years ago.I hope all is well with you and your family ? Love Jane xx

  • Hi Jane. I hope all goes well with your appointment. Just being able to talk to a doctor will give you some comfort. It might be an idea to write down any questions you may have beforehand so as not to forget anything. Best wishes.

    Best wishes to All,   rily.

    Hope all goes well next week, keep us posted. Luce x

  • Thanks Luce,I will do.Jane xx

  • Hi Jane, sounds like your hospital is open for business too. So good when the hospital actually phones to make contact with you, so reassuring. I guess they will have to rethink every system hospital wide to keep everyone safe. Video or phone consultations may well become more common. Long as you get any answers you need, I guess it saves a journey. Best wishes for yours x

  • Hi H,I presumed that the May appointment would be cancelled and that the next would be in July.The hospital have had a few Covid deaths recently.It would have been difficult to get over to the hospital in person.I can’t drive and the bus service has been slashed.John usually takes me to appointments but he is in the very vulnerable group so at home.Love Jane xx

  • I do think that the phone appointment can work out much better for a lot of people, hopefully it will be a thing of the future.  Gosh imagine having a family member doing surgery whilst the surgeon instructs them over the phone.  MrB would love it & buy every book possible & YouTube like mad on the subject. 

    Hope all goes well winkers x

  • Hi,Had a nice chat with my urologist this afternoon.He is pleased with my progress and says there was nothing on the last ct scan that worries him.He will see/speak to me in September and has booked me in for a scan in November.Love Jane xx
