9 weeks ago I came into A&E with severe left side weakness that came on quickly, after being there 3 1/2 hrs before speaking to the doctor I was given a CT scan, whilst waiting for the results a nurse from the stroke unit snapped at me that there wasn't a lot wrong with me as I'd managed to work the previous day. 20 minutes later I was told that the CT scan had shown a growth. I was kept in and after 4 days had an mri scan, this showed something 2x2 that shouldn't be there. After being sent home I am still waiting 9 weeks later for someone to bother telling me what is growing and what they are going to do about it. It is disgusting that people get left with no follow ups or any kind of communication when it is quite obvious there is a major problem that is life changing.
