Hello group,
I trying desperately.to get a second opinion on the NHS as this is my right and it has been denied to me. I am constantly answerable like a small dog to the oncologist. What do I do ? I am desperately trying to leave the place I am in but it is proving impossible. I know I have a cancer spread by no one is helping me with it. What do I do? I don't want to die.
i know my cancer has spread but they are saying I have psychological problems. I am sick of this. I need help. Please can someone help me. My life expectancy has been cut short. I am very very ill. The pet ct scan was very suspicious. I know they are being economical with the truth.
Hi I meant calling your Doctor at your GP and explaining the situation to them. They will be able to advise you on which other local hospitals you may be able to get referred to.
You can also make a complaint about the consultant you are seeing to the PALS service at your hospital but I’d speak to your GPs first.
Would paying for a private consultation be an option, you would be able to take all your notes, MDT reports, scans and reports with you so your new consultant could look at them and advise... If the opinion differs the new consultant could refer you to a different NHS team , if it's the same you've lost nothing.
They are dishonest wit me and they arrange things internally so that I can't disagree with them. I'm living a nightmare and the hospital I'm with and the consultant has not given me the best opportunity. They arrange things internally.
Have you asked to read and see the scans and reports? Why do you think that your cancer has spread?
