"Face to face cancer appointment cancelled "

Had breast cancer surgery in October at Basingstoke hospital by a brilliant surgeon and I can’t praise the doctors and staff enough. Couldn’t get better treatment. It was a different story with the Oncology Department. Finally had a telephone call this morning telling me I had an appointment for tomorrow (2/12) with a consultant face to face to discuss further treatment. Was very pleased

as I had been waiting a few weeks for this appointment. Then this afternoon had another telephone call to say the consultant had decided to speak to me on the phone to discuss further treatment such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy or whatever. I had never met this consultant and to just speak to a patient over the phone for a few minutes about further cancer treatment is unbelievable. I obviously had questions to ask him but he thought I wasn’t worth seeing. I told the nurse I was unhappy with just a phone call, so now waiting to see if I get any more treatment. Probably they won’t bother with me.
