I have been referred by my doctor to a Consultant late last year ocrt 2017 for a cat scan all was clear after loosing vast amounts off weight and many chest inf . My chest was still causing problems . I was given another cat scan in January 2018 this revealed a lump on my right lung and a shadow over my left kidney. In Feb I was discharged !. After another 2 scan March and April these annomolies are still there . I was told in a awful meeting in April with the Consultant and my husband the next step was to have a meeting with radiologist and then get a pet scan at northampton general . In this meeting he asked my husband if he was the man off the house !. My husband devastated st the news just received never responded to the Consultant. The pet scan will be arranged for following week we were told . He also informed us that he had referred me to eurology re left kidney back in Feb . On contacting eurology they had never heard off me and I hadn't been referred. After numerous calls to the Consultant's secretary . A email was sent to eurology and they have arranged a imediate ultrasound off my urinary trackt . The meeting with the consultant radiologist still hasn't happened , even tho I've been told these are supposed to take place every Wednesday . So here we are may 2018 nothing has been done . He told us in the April meeting that even though he can't say what these lumps are without a biopsy . His fear was cancer . And was very clear to blame myself for being a smoker . I am lost as to where to go next to get any kind off answers . My doctor recommended the pals team whom I have contacted twice now they talk to the Consultant and say sorry but lots off ppl waiting for these meetings to take place . These lumps have been there inside my lungs all this year and could be as long as Nov 2017 . I just want something to happen . We all know that the sooner cancer is detected and treated the better the outcome . All I seem to get is your name is in a book with a star next to it waiting for this meeting to trace place .
