"Caring and Supportive Doctors"

Having been diagnosed with suspected bone cancer at the beginning of March, my doctor referred me to all the relevant hospitals for treatment. Subsequently there have been issues with obtaining appointments and information back from the hospitals. Having been told about my cancer diagnosis is hard enough to deal with, but the added stress created by delays in receiving treatment has been very difficult. The doctor has phoned me to reassure me she is on the case and had taken urgent action to ensure I do get seen by an appropriate oncology department. Without her obvious concern and assistance, I'm not sure how I would have coped.
