My own womb cancer journey is frustrating in terms of the time it is taking. I wonder if it is being addressed by politicians and support organisations that where you live in Scotland impacts on how quickly you are seen and treated. Where I live (Lanarkshire) there is no hope of being seen within recommended guidelines. Not even close.
Anyone finding similar, or have positive stories of their NHS timescale.
Hi Madaboutcoffee
There does seem to be a big variation between hospitals. I am in England and was lucky in that I went from first symptom to surgery in 4 weeks. I am very aware that many ladies have waited a lot longer in all stages of testing, diagnosis and treatment.
I hope that your MRI can be done quickly. The only thing I can suggest is to call the hospital for an update and also to ask if there is a cancellation list.

That is not good. I am sorry that you are having to deal with this. I agree you shouldn't have to keep chasing things up when you are dealing with the stress of a cancer diagnosis.
In England we have PALS who you can contact.
The link below is for Scotland and PASS. I wonder if they can do anything.
