I've been waiting since July 2022 for a bronchscopy. Is a wait this long normal? Have they forgotten me?
What was the reason for you needing a bronchoscopy? Who told you were having one? Have you not been able to chase it?
The Respitory Consultant wrote I'd have one. I'm going to ask in writing. I ask questions - they aren't answered.
Did you get your blood test today ok ? X
I did. It's a one-off apparently, it's going to Mcr. It is the nearest big city. The lung cancer nurse said it was DNA and cancer cells? Didn't totally get it.
I've also had blood test for ovaries and liver. Took 3 hours at RLI (Consultant forgot to ask for blood test for ovaries/liver. So had to wait in line for bloods). Being sent to gynae on 2ww.
Do you know whether they actually referred you for a bronchoscopy? That would affect who you need to be chasing up.
