Oh ffs It's not going to be good news, is it?

[Bearskinwoolies]

I've posted on the health board a couple of times about having low level chronic pancreatitis problems; and recently that I was having tests as I have been constantly nauseous, am tender around the upper left abdo area and have lost weight.

I had an endoscopy last wednesday, and on my 'take home' sheet, it said that everything was normal, but I will be referred for an ultrasound. So far so good, right?

Well I just had a phone call from the consultant's secretary - he wants to see me first thing tomorrow morning. She told me she couldn't tell me why, but that I had to come in.

It's not going to be anything good is it?

I've been lurking..
Very pleased that all seems ok but I agree with others that the receptionist should have been told to indicate that you shouldn't worry as it was just a review of your treatment.
Disgraceful you were made to worry so much.

Hope that the change of meds works for you and that you can enjoy the Easter weekend.

When you next see the cons I would definitely mention to him that you were unnecessarily worried and distressed by the receptionist's message and perhaps this could be reviewed?

Oh I am so glad it went well for you

I got home, danced around the house for a while just to annoy my dh and went back to bed to catch up on the sleep that I didn't get last night.

It's good to know that somebody is finally taking this seriously, and I'm not having to keep going back to the gp constantly.

Yay!!

I totally didn't mention the secretary thing to him; my brain was completely blank until after, but I will be in the unit next week for the scan, so I am going to have a quiet word.

I still can't drink, but want everyone to have a on me

so pleased it went well

glad to hear your minds been put at rest,honestly fancy making you worry like that

Oh, I am SO relieved you are OK!

...But surely someone could have just told you it wasn't anything to worry about? Grrrhhhh.

Thank FUCK !

Any excuse for a drink Bear.. Thanks for giving me permission!!
Cheers and have a nice relaxing evening.

Fantastic news A quiet word is definitely the way to go. I had to have a head CT to rule out a few nasties. As you can imagine the waiting was torture. I called the consultants secretary and she was able to tell me that the scan was all clear so they are allowed to give out some information.

Thanks all - I was working this evening so definitely NOT relaxing, but had a laugh about it all.

I just have to get to grips with the new meds now - cholestyramine. I've not heard much about it, but will google and find out everything

I wanted to return and report - went in for the scan on Thursday, and in passing mentioned about the phone call etc; the secretary/receptionist apologized and said that she had had no idea that what she had said would have caused such a reaction.

The scan itself wasn't such a success - there's an anomoly on my liver so I will have more tests asap to find out exactly what it is.

Well I hope she 'gets' it now

I hope the other tests go OK. I have had a few on my liver - IF they do a biopsy do not let them start until the local is working properly - stupid Dr doing mine was in a hurry and started too soon... I wont go into details.

Let us know, when you know, when your tests are. I would tell you to try not to worry...but it's really a pointless thing to say isn't it :( I hope the tests are done quickly and it's nothing to worry about x

What Chipping says!

Hope you are feeling better and have some proper answers soon.

Thanks Chipping and Bucharest; your kind words are very much appreciated.

Hi - hope you have managed to do some nice things over the long weekend and that you don't have to wait too long for the tests. Let us know how you are doing!
