My Mum started with bleeding that lasted 30+ days at a time. She saw a gynae who suggested fitting a coil. She had this fitted in Aug 14. The bleeding continued pretty much daily for 6m (Feb 15). She asked someone in the gyane clinic (I think) who said it was normal after a coil was fitted. My Mums nurse was horrified when my Mum told her this and said it should have been checked immediately. Cue a referral for checking. They found "speckles" on my Mums cervix after a camera procedure (I think in May 15) and wanted to do further investigations. She had a biopsy (approx July 15). She rang to chase up her results and was told that her consultant/Dr was having a meeting about what she had seen with her colleagues what she had seen during the camera appointment was different to what the biopsy was showing.
The next time she called she was told her Dr was on leave and a letter detailing the results should be dictated on her return. After chasing it several times she has been told the receptionist is on holiday, it's waiting to be signed etc. She has also been given tit bits of information over the phone, whilst being told "I canot tell you want's in the letter or what procedure you will be having" from the receptionist. She has been told she has high grade pre cancerous cells. She is now getting where she's ringing 2 times a week because she just wants to know what the bloodyhell is going on and what her treatment is going to be.
AIBU in that waiting since July to October (so far at least!) 15 to get the results is taking the piss and she should make a formal complaint?
