"Endless Blood Tests"

About: De Parys Medical Centre

Immersive Reader

I am a cancer patient who has recently completed Chemotherapy. I have arthritis but all my drugs for that were stopped when I began chemo. My arthritis is now very painful again but when I ask this surgery for my old effective medication they refuse and just keep sending me for endless blood tests. It takes 2 weeks to get an "urgent" blood test on their automated system. The surgery also keep implying that the Oncology and Arthritis teams shoud be involved.

I get the impression that the progessionals are not talking to each other and there is no coherent treatment plan in place. Meanwhile I contiue to be in extreme pain.
