Hello Michael60
Thank you for your update although I am so sorry to read of the issues you have post radiotherapy.
If you are not having any joy with your issues with your GP I suggest you contact your oncology team at the hospital where you had your radiotherapy about the issues. If you have a catheter then you will also be under either a Macmillan or District nurse - have you had a word with them? If the problem is not getting any better then a call to 111 may well be an option.
I do hope this helps - please let me know how you get on.
Best wishes - Brian.

Hello Michael (Michael60)
I agree with the post from David2017 above and I think you need to be gently persuasive. You can also follow up your lack of appointment with your hospital PALS (Patient Advisory and Liaison Service). You can find their contact details on your hospital web page.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes - Brian.
