Update on Alicat
You would think that when an appointment has been made for you to see the cancer consultant to tell you the biopsy from your hysterectomy and whether the cancer had spread that they would know about the appointment wouldn't you! I mean I've had the letter with the appointment on for three weeks and luckily I took it with me when I went for the appointment yesterday so there was proof.We arrived at the hospital in plenty of time and got to the department and I gave my letter to the receptionist and they didn't have me down on their list and had no idea I was coming and they didn't have my notes. The consultant I was supposed to see on the letter wasn't even there! Luckily the consultant that did my surgery was on so he saw me. He didn't have any notes for me just a couple of pieces of paper with the biopsy report on (thank goodness for that). Anyway he said the cancer hadn't spread and he said if it was upto him I wouldn't need any more treatment and I would be signed off but others in his team have to agree as well but he couldn't tell me if that had happened as he didn't have my notes!! Not his fault though, it's the admin's fault. He said he would write to me.
Anyway he checked my wound and he said it was fine. I have to go back in three months time as he wants to check on the top of my vagina.
So I was quite relieved and happy that it hadn't spread and I probably don't need any more treatment.

Sometimes these mistakes are a bit too much to take Alison, I know they can really annoy people, good job you took the letter with you or they would have said it was your fault, anyway the news is good and I hope it gets better and better, sorry about the leg but you know what they say, God never closes one case without opening another, wish you luck with that too.
