The whole procedure was very painful, and I reacted badly. I was taken good care of at that point, the nurses were lovely. However the department couldn't seem to be bothered to let me know my results. I phoned repeatedly over the course of 3 months, to eventually be told I'd been discharged. Discharged without being informed or being told whether I had cancer or not!
I felt extremely anxious for 3 months then, when I found out I'd been discharged, thoroughly disrespected and cast aside.
Thankfully I don't have cancer, but it looks like they weren't going to bother to inform me. I complained and have received an apology.
Cwm Taf Health Board' s standard of patient communication falls well below the standard required by NHS Wales, the GMC and NICE. Don't stand for it ladies.
