To say I am disappointed is an understatement but I won’t say what really comes to mind !! Was booked in for my first round of chemo tomorrow and mentally prepared myself for it to be told today that I have not had a heart scan yet so it will be put back until possibly next week , maybe the week after . I’m at 50 days since surgery and was actually up at the hospital for another ultrasound last week so they could have done it then . I just feel like the longer I wait the worse things will be for me in the long run .
Oh no that’s so disappointing! I work for the NHS when I’m not being a patient... my advice would be to ring your oncologist’s secretary and ask them what the time scales are and explain you are worried about waiting so long post surgery. It won’t hurt and it might just help hurry the referrals through... xx
Thanks for your advice determined 76 I gave them a phone to hurry things along and have my appointment booked for tomorrow so my treatment should be ok to start next week .
Hi , That's good news and glad you made the call. Keep us informed of your progress .Sending hugs
