I had BCC removed from my scalp about 3 weeks ago and skin graft from my thigh. I was misdiagnosed for 2 years by practice nurse and photos sent to dermatology dept. I still have nurses twice a week to change wound dressings.
My problem just now is Im not seeing consultant for results to make sure they got all of it till the 4 Feb. (NHS) My mental health has taken a really a bad turn and I'm wrecked with anxiety every day, especially in mornings when its awful. I have a chronic health condition which means Im housebound the majority of the time which means I have all the time in the world to dwell on it.
My question is if I contact my gp and explain do you think she could get the results for me or if I contacted the hospital and explained and asked if I could have appointment much sooner? Im not sure what to do but I cant go on like this till February. Any advice welcome.
Hi Montyc4135f
Waiting for results is a really horrible time and I can understand why you want to see if you can get the results quicker than you've been told.
Were you given a contact name and number at the hospital where you had your BCC removed? If so, you could give them a call to see why the results are taking so long.
If you don't have a named contact then give your consultant's secretary a call and ask her if there's any chance the results will be back sooner than you've been told. If you don't have her number then just ask the hospital switchboard to put you through to Dr...... secretary.
Let us know how you get on
