Wondering if any of you have had a similar experience to me when awaiting results from the NHS.
I noticed one of my biceps was abnormally larger than the other. Once I’d exhausted all the jokes about it being my overused dominant arm (insert KW picture) I went to the Doctors before Christmas who referred me for an urgent MRI. I had this relatively quickly but wasn’t made aware of the results until the end of January due to an error in processing and was told that one department hadn’t handed the case over to the consultant properly through their “pathway” system, hence the delay. I was referred to the Oncology hospital on the Bristol Road for a biopsy, which I had three weeks ago today, as they have found a 17cm in diameter tumour on the right bicep. I’ve been chasing every day this week to be told the results still aren’t available and even when they are, will only be available once it’s been discussed at a weekly Tuesday consultant’s meeting.
Has anyone had a similar experience and if so, how would you interpret the delays in experiencing?
