DP was diagnosed with cancer last year, he has hopefully finished his chemo and yesterday we were supposed to get results of the CT he had last week along with blood results from that morning (he was also supposed have an MRI before too but it didn't get booked in time), so after travelling 1 1/2 hours having his blood taken then waiting another 5 hours to see the consultant the scan results hadn't been sent by the other hospital and only 1 of 3 blood results were ready. The CT hospital refused to send them again so we now have no idea if he needs any more treatment at all, radiotherapy or surgery. How can it be so difficult to just get stuff done, I know the NHS is big and underfunded but it is a ridiculous waste of our time and the constants as now he has to (well his secretary) chase up the CT results and let DP know by phone. Another appointment has been made for in a month just in case we still don't know and to get MRI results. It s so frustrating having our lives on hold still because they systems are so poor, he really could do with knowing what is happening to his body. The consultant is wonderful but can not give us the answers without the correct information or results to hand. Grrrrrrr and the receptionist at work is pissing me off by being frigging useless at her job despite having done it for 25 years .
I know no one can help just need a rant.
