Has anyone had a referral letter to a consultant in ulster Hospital Macmillan unit with a S Van shaeybroeck?
Is this indicative of bad news for reaction of cancer in bowel results?
Really worried.
Yes, it is the consultant's name. I just wondered if she only saw certain patients due to her research specialty. Which has frightened me as I am concerned her cancer might be incurable.
She has done a lot of work on Braf - genetic cancer which is incurable.
Hi Teddy007
Although they have done specific research their clinics normally still encompass all cell types . There would not be able to cover clinics based on cell types like that . They may however have a special interest .
Just to reassure you they tell you if there was anything you would need to know but it normally more down to practicality of who has space in their clinic .
They don’t conceal it .
Take care ,
