to think that, if you've just been told it's life-threatening, then 16 weeks is a long time to wait for a diagnosis...

It'll be 2 weeks until the referral is processed. Then 6-8 weeks on the waiting list for the tests. Then 4-6 weeks until I get the results.

I do passionately believe in the NHS, but this is really a bit much.

I've tried to go private, but have been told by my cardiologist that there is nobody in the UK sufficiently skilled who will take a private referral. (They all obviously passionately believe in the NHS too, I suppose [hmmm]...) So really, the only option is to wait.

I've told everyone involved how anxious I am. But I'm sure everyone on the waiting list is anxious. But I suspect I'm the only one on the waiting list young enough to have a baby daughter.

AIBU to feel a bit sorry for myself.
