Over 5 weeks, no results hello panic attacks

It could be. They are good people, they want to save lives. But just feel like as they’ve Seen so many people maybe they forget how difficult it is for us, as it’s actual people we love that are going through this. It’s stressful for the patient and the family members… 

Bless you! It may Be because of stress. Are you eating properly? 

Sorry your still waiting as well! What did you say to pals? 

The GP has said it's probably stress related.  I'm trying to eat property but some days I can't eat at all, just so knotted, not that you'd guess it from my waist line!!!!  I'm very grateful that prepandemic I received some excellent treatment for my diabetes which has got by HBCa!1 from a dangerous 112 to 48 with diet and medication.  If I don't get a results date today I shall be following in Shaz's footsteps and putting a call in to PALS.

I also have a fabulous local councillor, I'll contact him to, he rattles cages for his constituents.

I emailed them, explaining date I had surgery, and that I was still awaiting final results nearly 6 weeks after, and was concerned this may delay any further treatment.  I explained how it was affecting my mental health and causing other problems.  They have acknowledged my email I am just waiting for there response into it now. Have you had any news xx

Yh that will be my next step. Have they got all your results now, are you waiting for an appointment for them xx

I have a telephone appointment for the results on Friday - probably telephone due to the Shingles, I don't want to be passing chicken pox to anyone so am happy for the telephone appointment, just need to get this moving forward.

So pleased at last you have your appointment arranged for your results, this will enable you to move forward with your next stage of treatment.  Fingers crossed for me now. Best wishes xxx

I might have to start writing to pals as well. But then I am worried the team might turn against, or not be as willingly to help… 

Hi, they cannot do that, it is no there fault  the delay is with the labs. I feel for my bcn they are doing there best under such difficult circumstances.  I am hoping it will give the labs a nudge xx

Diazy if I do this, I shall be pointing out how caring the BCN have been and the whole team but the delay in the labs is causing unnecessary stress and further illness in my case, that the delay has caused.

It's not against the team but the process which I am sure the BCN are also frustrated with.  I've fired a letter off to my MP to illustrate what the reality is behind the waiting list figures. I have no idea if it will help but just needed to not be a figure in a headline.  It will probably do nothing more than make me feel a little bit better.
