Hi there! My hospital runs a Health Record App and every time I go to hospital, whether it be for tests/mammograms/chemo/radiotherapy/oncology or indeed any appointment, every detail of that appntment AND instant results, are on screen for me and other health care professionals to view! It’s the most fantastic system called Epic . I had an echocardiogram last Tuesday at 8.15am and before I’d even got home the results were on screen (with an email sent to advise me)!! That meant oncologist had access and contacted me to discuss! Every detail is on there from the drugs I’m on, to the full blood tests and what they mean! Am blown away by this brill system. No more Doctor Google for me!!
You would most definitely be told if they have it at your hospital! They want you to link with them and download info such as medical, family history, drugs you take, ops you’ve had as well lots if other details to assist them. You don’t have to engage but it’s great as your appointments are fully detailed which alleviates the need for paperwork.
That sounds good Tavares! I have access to my GP surgery which features all the correspondence between my hospital/oncologist and GP, but what you describe seems even better; I shall look into it. Hope you’re well T! Wishing you a smooth journey, a positive attitude ( which you certainly have; you’re an inspiration ) Keep posting, I’m watching you

Eek! Big brother!! I truly appreciate the fact that we all look out for each other and that you Mazz even tho you’re at the ‘end’ you’re still engaging! It’s a tough road but sharing is so helpful. Only those who have been there can make useful suggestions. On a side issue…My elderly neighbour asked sometime back “ how long have you got”??!! Love him!! Best wishes as always Mazz xxx
