I was diagnosed in 2018 with an anaplastic astrocytoma and had two craniotomies, whole brain radiotherapy and a year’s chemotherapy.  They were not able to remove all the tumour so I have been having quarterly MRI brain scans since then.  However when I hadn’t received a date for my next scan (which was scheduled for 4 months, not 3) I was told that the Government had told King’s not to do any MRI scans because of Covid-19.   

This has naturally worried me greatly.  Has anyone else been told this?
