Am I Worrying for Nothing

Hi Searchfamilies

I'm afraid I can't answer your question about why your GP is writing to your gynaecologist to arrange an MRI scan rather than just ordering one themselves. I don't know if this is the normal protocol or not but would suggest you get back in touch with your GP to ask them this question and explain that you are worried about how the MRI is being arranged.

When you have a minute it would be useful if could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

Was the GP able to explain everything Searchfamilies? 

Not spoke to the GP since my visit where she referring to the Gynologist 

But have heard from the Macmillan cancer support nurses at the hospital where I had my surgery & she is referring me to a lymphedema clinic should be a few weeks before I hear but at least something is being done there is only one in the County

Sorry Searchfamilies I thought when you said you'd "done this" you meant you'd spoken to your GP.

Glad to hear that you're getting a referral to the lymphoedema clinic though. 

Let me know how you get on

I had gone to the GP because of the swelling she looked at my leg ask to see top of the leg plus then on the couch looked below, It was only then she asked about when I last had a scan 

I am not sure sure why said that she will refer me to gynologist to see about the MRI Scan 

As she not there all the time can't ask her I hope to phone on Monday 

I phoned the doctors & spoke to the receptionist she looked it up as the doctor wasn't in today 

Anyway she said that she was asking the consultant advice if I should have a MRI Scan & about bring forward my follow up appointment 

I am not worrying like I was now it's wait for this & my lymphedema appointments 

I'm glad to hear that you're feeling less worried Searchfamilies now that you know that your GP has written to your consultant asking for their advice.

I hope your appointment at the lymphoedema clinic goes well
