Appreciating the problems after the pandemic I am extremely concerned for my husband, family and myself regarding the current delay we are experiencing for receiving the outcome of a special test my husband had at the end of June. Our hospital appointment for the results is not until mid-September. Our life recently has been one of extreme worry and concern.
After the test, we have been playing the waiting game and imagining the worst outcomes from the test. I had to contact our GP who tried to help us get an earlier appointment for the diagnosis. I also phoned the department to try and get an earlier appointment but there has been no response from the hospital.
I feel like complaining but understand the pressures the NHS is under just now. However, we have a story to tell and would like to talk this through with someone regarding our situation. I am a retired nurse, which doesn’t help matters, but fortunately my training has helped hopefully for supporting my husband and family at this worrying time
