I hope you are all doing well. I’m now 9 weeks post op (doesn’t time fly) and have been experiencing cramp like pain in the groin area. I thought I’d give my CNS a wee phone just to verify that it was nothing to worry about and stop my family nagging me to phone. Anyway she didn’t seem too worried but said if it continued then give my GP a call and get them to do a quick check in case I’d overdone things(highly possible). Anyway while I was talking to her the conversation got on to Covid and I said I appreciated how it was probably responsible for the longer waiting time for me getting my pathology results. I was very surprised to hear her say “what do you mean longer waiting time have you not had your results yet?” I was then told that they were in and had already been discussed by the Medical Team.She then told me that she couldn’t give me the results over the phone. End results were she’s contacted consultants secretary to organise an appointment but can’t say whether it’s going to be hospital or phone consultation. So ladies once again I’m playing the blooming waiting game and trying to work out why my CNS can’t give me results over the phone but quite possibly my consultant will be doing just that.It also sends your mind into overdrive a wee bit, especially when you’ve been told that the Medical Team have been discussing your case. I know they probably discuss every case when it comes to the pathology results but it doesn’t stop you wondering and imagining the worse. Part of me is wishing I hadn’t phoned now, Anyway you all take care and stay safe.

Hi Angie
You must be spitting feathers! Why the heck haven't they given you your results.
Strange thing is it was my CNS told me I had cancer in the first place rather than a consultant. That had come about as I was awaiting the results of my hysteroscopy. I'd phoned Grantham, where I'd had the op, they referred me back to Lincoln. In the meantime I'd received a letter inviting to a consultation in Nottingham (2.5 hours away) so I was asking my CNS if it was necessary going all the way to Nottingham to be told we'll monitor you, come back in 6 months. It was at point she dropped the bombshell that I had cancer! All a distant memory now, the op was 5 months ago! Must be different rules for different NHS trusts.
Sorry to hear you're having cramps, perhaps one of the other ladies will come forward to offer their thoughts.
Sending you gentle hugs, Barb xx

Hi Angie, i be very keen to hear what the consultant has to say to you after this long a wait for your pathology results. Its definitely a good idea to describe the cramping pain too. Tell them everything and hopefully you get good results and explanations too.
good luck I have my fingers crossed for you, sending you a big bear hug
