2 week wait referral, 30 years old

Hi nictonb, sorry to hear you are in this situation. It’s hard to say what will happen, I’m recently diagnosed and I went to one of my first appointments thinking I’d get info and they just ‘wanted to meet me’. I would ring the receptionist and try to get some info out of them, they may be able to give you contact details of a nurse you could speak to. Say that you would like to understand what the purpose of the appt is, whether you will have a scan and whether you need someone with you. Good luck, let us know how you get on xx

Hi Louise, 

Thankyou so much for your reply. That is a good idea, I may give them a call on monday and ask. I think it's just the whole 'being in limbo' and hearing my gp say the word cancer.

I hope you are doing ok after your diagnosis.

I will keep you updated, always here if you need a chat :) xx

Hi nictonb, how did you get on on Tuesday? Hope you’re ok xx

Hi nictonb,

I have found the whole process a little frustrating and slow before a concrete diagnosis was given. The CA125 test was followed by an external and internal ultrasound, which was then followed by a CT scan before they would actually say anything.  The waiting is hard, but hang in there; it appears that this is normal process but it is definitely teaching me to improve my levels of patience. Lol. 

All the best
