I had a 2ww scan on 30/06 which discovered an ovarian cyst. I had a 4m on surveillance scan on 25/10 and still haven't received my results, 13 weeks on. I spoke to someone in oncology after 3 weeks who said I need to speak to benign care team and put me through. The phone rang endlessly and I had to give up. I tried numerous times and still no answer. I eventually called oncology again after a further 4 weeks, who said they were working on approx 4-6 weeks to contact with results, and said she would put me through to the benign team as it was 7 weeks at that point. Still no answer, just ringing. I have waited on the end of a ringing phone for over half an hour several times since. Still can't get through!
My GP emailed on 21/12, I emailed on 5/1 and 10/1. I sent another on 17/1 saying no-one had answered or even acknowledged my emails, only to be copied in to them forwarding my email to the oncology team!
Yesterday I received a text saying my appt on 9/2 had to be cancelled and rearranged for 12/2 at st Mary's hospital. Then a text directing me to the new digital letter system, which said my appointment is at Withington hospital?
And STILL no idea what my result is and what I have the appointment for?
So obviously incredibly anxious now
Extremely disappointed with the service.
"Impossible to contact"
