So back in march my partner had a scan and they seemed happy with it, i then had to fight to get a appointment e months after this to go theough the scan with consultant, which was clear and he was happy, all surgery had healed from December, and he said hey ill send u for another scan why not , and ill see u in another 4 months to check in. A week later she got sent for a scan and they said we have to go and compare it with other one, and thought nothing off it and thst we would find out 4 months time when we see the consultant, but they have jist called telling her to come in for a app in a few days time….

and now im terrified they found more or something else and its not clear anymore, as this is the first time they have called us to a app after a scan….. i just felt better by hearing the consultant say all clear we are happy less than a month ago, now she has to go alone to a app we have no idea what to expect and im scared 

  • Hello  ,
    Welcome to the forum, I'm Eliza from the Community team at Macmillan. I hope you've been finding it helpful to look through the forums so far. 
    I'm sorry to hear about how you're feeling, we understand it can be really worrying when you don't know what to expect from an upcoming appointment.

    I wanted to just recommend that you might find it helpful to talk to our team of nurse specialists on the Support Line, as they are experts in NHS processes. They can't access your partner's medical records but they can talk to you about the scan and appointment. Our nurse specialists and support team are available 7 days a week, 8am-8pm on freephone 0808 808 00 00email or live webchat

    You can also reach our nurse specialists on the Online Community on Ask a nurse, although please bear in mind their Online Community page is only open Monday – Friday.

    I'm sure other members may come along to share their experiences soon. Another forum you may find helpful to join to talk about your experiences as a partner is our Family and friends forum

    I hope that you will find the Online Community helpful. If we can do anything further to support you or if you have any questions, you can contact the Online Community team over email to community@macmillan.org.uk.

    Best wishes,

    Eliza
