I have a symptom that could indicate a gynae cancer. I also have PTSD from childhood sexual abuse and rape. I asked my GP to explain this in the referral, and she offered to ask for a female Gynae surgeon.
I got to the two week wait clinic to find my appointment was with a man, and panicked and ran. Now I feel like a total failure. I had done lots of planning and preparation to manage myself through the examination and tests, but I didn't even get near them. In the present climate I should be grateful to be seen at all, not be making a fuss about my preferences
