  Fingers crossed all will be well

My fingers are crossed for you as well

Path results are being done nice and quickly too

Yes, thanks Hazel.  This is always my first port of call, I'm afraid to say that my assigned 'cancer nurse' has been no use at all, she never answers her phone and when I leave a message, she never returns it so I've given up on her.

You should bring this up with your consultant at next review

I did mention it to him once and he just said, oh that's unusual for her?  But I'e not mentioned it to him since.

Mine was always around somewhere at my reviews. Catch her and make sure you have the right contact details

I do have the right details because she says who she is on her outgoing answerphone message.  It's fine, there is a good support unit for cancer patients at my hospital, so I can go there if needed, but I mostly just come on here and talk to people who have actually gone through it themselves.  I think that no matter how good medical staff are you can't beat talking to someone who actually knows exactly what you are going through.  I'm having my staples out today!  Thanks Dani, hope you're good.

But Hazel, it’s not fine really is it?  At the end of the day this person is being paid to do a job she is not doing if she never answers her phone and, worse, does not respond to a message left for her.  It’s not fair to patients or to colleagues who have to pick up the slack. Do you have a PALS service you could take it up with?

My Point was that if you actually asked her F2F she might feel guilty at ignoring you in the past. Have a go at the consultant again too

As Liz111 says....it's her job.
