I was diagnosed with CLL in 2013 and was regularly monitored under a watch and wait system. I attended my appointment in December 2017 and advised my next appointment would be in four months time. In March I waited for my appointment which didn't arrive. I contacted SHH and was told there was now a large backlog for appointments and it could be August before I would be seen. In September I again contacted SHH to be told that the appointments hadn't been released yet.
It is now the middle of October and I am still waiting for my appointment.
It is imperative that should my condition deteriorate that action is taken quickly but without the regular monitoring nobody knows whether I am getting worse.
