I was diagnosed with Lung Cancer 8 days ago. No further communication. The staff at actue assessment at the time and a week later when I chased said they can not tell me anything further as it is not their field of expertise.
I chased today and was told my case was "in clinic" when I asked what that meant I was told that it meant it was still being looked at and I would probably hear sometime this week. They already have the results of the tests carried out last week and have not asked for any more. I can only presume that there is nothing that can be done so there is no urgency for the medical team to do anything. I can understand that, but I have limited time and I do have lots of decisions to make and feel that I can best do that when I have information about my condition, I would like them to share that with me. I am very sad that 8 days after having been given this diagnosis I have no further information. This is also negatively impacting those people that I have told.
