Contact with NHS

Hi SylHop I seem to be in a similar situation.I have just been diagnosed and have only seen my consultant so far.I had to phone my hospital many many times to even find out if an oncologist had been assigned to me.I have now got his name ,but can not speak to him as all my tests are not in yet, i just don,t understand why i can,t just ask what is happening.I like you have no one to contact if my pain gets worse as my doctors surgery are not even answering now its constantly engaged.So have started a ( save myself plan ) i have contacted my consultants secretary, care nurse, oncologist secretary, oncologist manager,oncologist appointment secretary, i phoned the hospital main line and asked to be put through to them , and also asked for there direct numbers, i then either spoke or left messages every hour till they got back to me.I left messages on their answerphones and they do get back just don,t give up keep on to them all the time.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     I like you just needed to know i had not slipped through the net, and i think we need to remind them we are here and we want and need treatment too i hope this has helped Keep Safe Xx
