"ENT - Melonama"

About: South Tyrone Hospital / Ear, Nose & Throat

(as the patient),

I am absolutely disgusted at this stage. I have just received a message that my appointment for surgery next week to remove my lump inside my nose has been cancelled and I have been put on a waiting list again. 

First of all I had to be told at my appointment in April that I had Melanoma by a consultant that day - I had not been informed by anyone prior to this.  I had my biopsy in January 2022 and only informed of results via my April appt.  To say I was in shock is an understatement. 

I have another condition called Lupus SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus) and have been off my medication for days now. Can someone please tell me why I have to wait for so long.  Apparently my ENT (Ear Nose and Throat) consultant is ill.
