CA 125 Blood test results

"CA 125 Blood test results"

About: Burnley General Hospital

While I can't fault the personal care and attention given by the staff and consultants of this department - the same cannot be said for informing patients of any results of tests undertaken.

It has been more than four weeks since I attended an appointment in the Gynaecology department and I have yet to receive a letter giving any information concerning my results. Fair enough if I have nothing to be concerned about but I won't know that until I'm actually given any information - good or bad!!
