I am endlessly frustrated with the waiting times and care delivered at the gynaecology unit. Unfortunately I have been a patient for just under a year now. From the point of diagnosis/op I was told I would require 3 monthly appointments/scans but I am always chasing for these to be booked and there is always a long delay from receiving a scan to results (due to a lack of appointments). It feels like a never ending cycle of frustration and pain.
The concerning thing about treatment here, is that its extremely under resourced and staffed and without being very assertive and advocating for yourself you would get nowhere. The emotional impact of awaiting for results has never been considered by this service.
