Hi Ratty
I am so sorry to hear about your husband and totally understand and feel your anger!
Some people have had very efficient “fast track”experiences, but sadly some of us have also had poor experiences with their GPs I visited mine several times from February this year with 6 out of 7 symptoms of tonsil cancer(T43NMO) but was sent home each time.
Is your husband eligible for any clinical trials? Immunotherapy etc ? You could ask your CNS or Oncologist.
You are both in my thoughts
Oh Ratty. I’m so sorry. There appear to be huge gaps in reterral protocols and it seems to come down to the skill of the GP.
I hope you have an understanding team which can ease the future for you both and give you some time together.
Hugs.

Hi Ratty so sorry to hear your sad news. There’s a huge disparity in refferal s within the U.K. which isn’t right. It like Dani says the skill if the gp seems to be the issue. I hope you and yiu hubby get sound advise and guidance in the months to come.
hugs Hazel
