Visited my GP who referred me for a CT scan.  Received a phone call from the Early Cancer Diagnostic Centre NHS Fife on Monday to go through my medical history.  Received a phone call the next day to arrange my CT scan on Thursday - exactly a week after seeing my GP!

In view of the extremely long waiting times for treatment and others in probably greater need, I'm amazed how quickly this all happened.  Okay, I have still to wait on results and have no idea what happens next.  However, it shows the NHS working at its best.  And, of course, as with any organisation, it is the staff who make it possible.
