"Ovarian cancer diagnosis"

About: Royal Alexandra Hospital / Gynaecology (Ward 32)

(as the patient),

I keep filling up with ascites fluid. I have been in hospital 5 times in the last month to have the ascites drained from my abdomen. It took over 3 weeks to get a so called urgent ct biopsy.  I have now waited nearly 2 weeks for the result of this. I also got admitted to hospital again recently because I could hardly breathe. I was on a ward since 11 30 in the morning but they didn't do anything because the doctors were in theatre and they wouldn't put in a drain out of hours( after 5pm) . A complete joke as I'd been on the ward since 11 30 in the morning.
