We got a phone call to say that my husband’s biopsy results hadn’t come back so they had to cancel his appointment. Not their fault but it’s another anxious wait and we really hoped he’d start with his treatment. it’s 64 days now since referral. I hope he’ll be seen soon as we’re getting so close to Christmas.
Hello Babychamshine613e2e
I am aware that the labs testing samples are now very busy as more men are being tested due to all the publicity at the moment. It may help if you contact the hospital PALS office (Patient Advisory & Liaison Service). Tell them the delay is causing anxiety, remind them of the pathway deadlines and see if they can speed things up for you.
To help us help you, can I ask you to add your husband's journey to his profile (you can read mine & many Community member's by clicking on their name or avatar). To do this on your home page, click on the chair - top right, then "profile" then "edit". Once you have written something remember to click on "save".
Best wishes - Brian.
